Welcome to
Ship Safety Conference 2009
Monday 30 November - Tuesday 01 December 2009, Antwerp, Belgium
Breech of safety within ships is a very real concept. Unfortunately it happens, if not regularly, then a lot more frequently than it should, with the more famous cases being recorded in history as devastating tragedies. What is more disturbing about these tragedies is that not only could they have been prevented to begin with, but they could have been greatly minimised if not for the lack of complete awareness in safety strategies and techniques that need to be implemented in order to eliminate them altogether. Ships must be prepared to face harsh reality and arm themselves with the tools they need to save lives and diminish damage, for with no plan of action, there is only one inevitable outcome. Fortunately, maximising safety in ships can not only be achieved effectively but actually increases overall performance whilst reducing external cost.
Ship Safety 2009 brings together all the major global experts under one roof to share their insights on uncovering all safety challenges in ships by incorporating safety measures across the entire shipping organisation. This cant-miss conference is an ideal and significant opportunity to bring together the major players in the industry to:
- Review the latest technology that will move fire protection and safety forward within the shipping industry
- Assess all aspects of passive fire protection and fire behaviour to gain a better understanding of safety management
- Evaluate individual ship security risk assessments and plans to determine ISPS code compliance and where the gaps may lie
- Examine the long term perspectives of sustainable safety practices
- Instil the right training skills within crew members to meet safety objectives on day-to-day occurrences to better prepare them for future hazardous incidents
- And much more!
