CMA postpones conference for second time due to pandemic

The Connecticut Maritime Association (CMA) has become the first shipping organisation to postpone its annual conference twice over the coronavirus outbreak.

After an initial delay from its dates in late March, the CMA had hoped to run the 35th annual conference and exhibition from 29 June to 1 July in Stamford.

But TradeWinds reported on 22 April that those dates were increasingly in doubt, and the CMA confirmed the second postponement in an announcement on Wednesday.
