Breakbulk Europe Conference Posts Record Attendance

NEWARK, New Jersey, May 26, 2010 - Recovery forecasts and upcoming challenges for the various sectors of the
breakbulk industry were highlighted at UBM Global Trade's 5th Annual
Breakbulk Europe Conference last week, organized by Breakbulk Magazine and
The Journal of Commerce. Breakbulk Europe 2010 posted a record turnout of
3,300 attendees and 125 exhibitors, an increase of 10 percent from 2009.

"In addition to a record number of attendees this year, we saw a larger
percentage of overall attendance from the cargo-owning side of the industry,"
said Alli McEntyre, Breakbulk Vice President and Publisher. "Overall feedback
was that a large number of business contracts were negotiated during the
event and in the related networking hours."

Hosted by the Port of Antwerp, Europe's largest breakbulk port, Breakbulk
Europe was a veritable beehive of activity, with robust floor traffic,
entertaining and business networking throughout the two-day event. Panelists
at the conference examined regulation and compliance challenges of working
with global trading partners, plus the ongoing impact of the current
financial environment. "Reducing the Piracy Risk" Moderator Lars Juhl called
on attendees to sign a petition to all governments asking to allow the
nearest warship to respond in instances of piracy.

Keynote speakers provided perspectives and outlooks from each sector of
the industry, as well as worldwide economic prospects and industry research
reports. Alex Azparrent of Fluor Chile detailed ongoing and new projects in
South America, and Alstrom's Sandro Lepori noted the growing importance of
modularization. Fred Bedford of Jumbo Shipping forecast moderate shipping
growth for all markets but noted continuing industry overcapacity.

A redesigned Breakbulk.com was launched at Breakbulk Europe 2010 as part
of the company's effort to continue providing the highest quality of service
to the industry. The Web site accompanies the recent announcement of key
personnel appointments and a global rollout of the industry-leading Breakbulk
