Hong Kong's summer rains held off and a record turnout of 234 packed the newly opened venue and enjoyed the glorious Victoria Harbour views from the terrace.
The Hong Kong shipping community turned out in full force despite the summer holidays. The event saw a number of new faces and new members of YPSN, including some from the neighbouring Shenzhen branch, indicating the vibrance and growth of not only the network but also the local maritime industry.
Thanks to event sponsors OSRO China Ltd, Irwin Marine, The Marshall Islands Registry, NEPA, Ince & Co and lucky draw sponsors Premier Collections who gave out a model wooden junk boat. Other lucky draw prizes included champagne, chargers as well as cufflinks and wind breaker jackets provided by The Marshall Islands Registry.
As usual, the event wound up after midnight with all fed, watered and in high spirits!
