The Young Shipping Professionals of New York (YSPNY) hosted a pre-release viewing of SuperYacht for prospective members at the landmark Soldiers’, Sailors’, Marines’, Coast Guard and Airmen’s Club. Attended by over 100 professionals in the marine shipping industry, this cocktail party was abuzz with conversations ranging from business to friendship. In such a global community, gatherings like this are a major part of how business gets done. One highlight of the event was the book SuperYacht from luxury publisher Gloria Books. The 620 page glossy was out for guests to peruse and pre-order one of the limited edition copies. In addition to the beautiful images inside the book, SuperYacht comes in an artfully designed lucite case whose cover has been sculpted to mimic the undulation of a wave. The first of many social and educational events for 2009, this is a good start to what looks to be an interesting year for shipping – and especially the YSPNY. “The greater New York area is teeming with young professionals working in all facets of the shipping industry,” said YSPNY President Sofia Vassilakis. “It’s exciting to be able to create a venue for our colleagues to get out of the office, come to our events and network, learn about the industry and most importantly, have a great time.”
