PV Int'l Fireworks Art Symposium Wrap-Up
This article is from the Banderas News - Puerto Vallarta's liveliest website!
http://banderasnews.com/0904/nb-fireworks2009.htm
According to Fred Ward, the coordinator of the 11th International Symposium of Fireworks, which took place in Puerto Vallarta from April 20-24, 2009, had a record breaking number of participants, with 350 people from 33 countries making it the largest international gathering of the pyrotechnic industry since it's inception in Montreal in 1992.
Throughout the four-day event, the Puerto Vallarta Sheraton Buganvilias Resort and Convention Center served as a meeting point for fireworks manufacturers from all over the world to exchange the latest technologies and ideas with other members of the pyrotechnic industry, and gave Mexico's pyrotechnical showmen the chance to showcase their various disciplines and specialties.
Various product demonstrations and shows were open to the public during the four-day event, including traditional fireworks displays evoking Mexican fiestas and folklore presented by fireworks companies from several states in Mexico, including Jalisco, Tlaxcala and Mexico D.F., among others.
"Everyone was truly amazed by the skill and artistry of the Mexican fireworks industry, and I know that we will all leave Mexico with a deep appreciation and tremendous respect for the fireworks community here. It's just been a wonderful experience to bring everybody to Mexico. It was the first time for many people to come to Mexico, and I think that there isn't a better ambassador for the country than the people of Puerto Vallarta. It's just been a wonderful experience." Mr. Ward said.

Shanghai Expo 2010 May 1st to Oct 31st
There has been much talk lately about how the Shanghai Expo will impact on the shipment of fireworks. It is still early, and so far this is what we know. Shanghai has two ports: Yangshan and Waigaoqiao. Yangshan is far away from the city center and the Expo venue. Waigaoqiao is near the Expo venue. Most of the mother vessels for US shipments call Waigaoqiao and most of the shipments to Europe call Yangshan port. Right now, it is believed that shipments to the US starting early to mid April 2010 will be most affected by the Shanghai Expo, if Yangshan port will be closed for fireworks.
At present, the port of Zhaoqing is still being worked on. We have heard a handful of containers of fireworks have been successfully transshipped from Zhaoqing to Hong Kong, but up to this time has not been a smooth process.
There is also talk of Maersk working to open services from Wuzhou port in Guangxi for transshipment in Hong Kong.
Many ocean carriers are now having difficulties fillings up spaces on their vessel due to the economic downturn and are frequently changing their schedules and routing to avoid losses on each route. Maersk just announced as of mid May, they will cease services from Hong Kong to Tacoma and Seattle, and instead can only offer services from Shanghai to Tacoma and Seattle.
