Last Tuesday (Nov. 23rd) we were delighted to chat with the staff of the Portuguese Directorate General for Maritime Policy (DGPM), who kindly invited us to deliver a lunch talk on entrepeneurship and how can Government Agencies better assist business owners and operators in Portugal.

During the talk we shared quite a few anecdotes accumulated over 15 years of moving live fish, such as our pains and tribulations when moving Rhinoptera marmorata form Istanbul to Madrid, mainlay for not having a dozvola, which is Turkish for International Transport Permit. Turns out we did have it, just not in the right format…
