Welcome to the IUMI Hamburg Spring Meeting 2025!

We are pleased to invite you to the Spring Meeting of the IUMI Technical Committees and Forums 2025 in our hometown of Hamburg, the most important maritime centre in Germany and one of the most significant maritime hubs in Europe!

Hamburg is famous for being a major port city in northern Germany. The city is connected to the North Sea by the River Elbe, and there is more water all over the city. Hamburg has hundreds of canals and also large areas of parkland. That’s way Hamburg is also called the northern Venice.

The Spring Meeting will take place at the Steigenberger Hotel right in the heart of the city. We have made a block booking reservation which you may access via this website.

The “Hamburg Meeting” is by now a tradition in the IUMI calendar and we mark the 10th Hamburg meeting this year. We hope that our Committee and Forum members look forward to travelling to Hamburg once a year for association business, meeting good friends and enjoying a wonderful city close to the heart of our business.

This conference website aims to give you useful information about the IUMI TC and Forum Spring Meeting taking place from Sunday, 30th March to Monday, 31st March 2025 (the Policy Forums meets on Tuesday, 1 April). The website also offers important details about registration, the conference hotel and our generous sponsors along with some useful tips for planning your trip to Hamburg.

This year's conference dinner on Monday takes place at the International Maritime Museum and we offer a complimentary 1 hour guided tour at the Museum before the drinks reception starts. Kindly book your space during registration.

 

This year, we are delighted to offer also a one-day training programme for our (Junior) TC Members on Tuesday, 1 April 2025. The inaugural programme will focus specifically on certain cargo types and cargo wordings, and it will be conducted in cooperation with experts from our IUMI Professional Partner companies:

Focus on Cargo:

9:00-10:30 – Steel coils, Barbuss

11:00-12:30 – Perishables, DP Surveys

13:30-15:30 – Comparison of cargo wordings, ASD and HFW

The three sessions will be interactive with open discussion/Q&A between the participants and the instructors as well as group work. The programme will take place at the IUMI Hamburg office, Große Elbstraße 36, 22767 Hamburg, and includes a coffee and lunch break.

Participation is free of charge. The 20 available seats will be offered on a first come, first served basis. Please book your seat during registration.

 

We look forward to seeing you soon!
