Singapore: An industry forum aimed at producing a practical response to the current crises in maritime casualty management was officially launched in Singapore today.
LOC Group (LOC), the leading international maritime consultancy group, is set to host the forum, the first of its kind, as a gathering during the forthcoming Singapore Maritime Week (April 20-24, 2015).
The two day meet is intended for global industry leaders from all parties involved in marine casualties. It takes place on Thursday and Friday April 23 and 24 at Singapore’s Fullerton Hotel.
LOC has invited many of the world’s leading marine insurers, salvage contractors, as well as shipowners and government representatives to the exclusive, not-for-profit event.
More than 200 senior industry figures are expected to attend to hear discussions on the challenging issues facing the maritime industry today including the dramatically escalating cost of salvage and wreck removal and the salvage of mega ships.
Other topics will highlight the work of the International Group of P&I Clubs’ Casualty Working Group and the current thinking of a host of senior maritime authorities and regulators from the region including, but not limited to, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand as well as the United Kingdom.
