DEVELOPING A SHIP OPERATOR’S OVERALL STRATEGY

ACI’s 4th Maritime Piracy & Security Summit will prepare a shipping company to operate effectively in waters targeted by pirates. This will include appropriate risk assessment, education of pirate activity, non-lethal technologies, armed guard implementation, and proper preparation and care of the crew. International law and assistance will be effectively summarised and presented to you to form part of a well-managed and considered anti-piracy strategy.

At our 4th Maritime Piracy and Security event, discover how you can avoid incidents at sea through better securing of your fleet and crew.

The Agenda

What’s new for 2013?

Throughout the 2 days you will have the opportunity to hear industry leaders, naval forces and government figures to discuss and debate the best approaches for ensuring safety at sea and develop a long-term solution to a global problem: 

• Analysing the responsibility of the ship's master in regards to the piracy threat
• Understanding the spread of activity
• Carrying out an appropriate and thorough risk assessment prior to visiting effected areas
• Developing a well-prepared and educated crew to face the piracy threat
• Maximising the effectiveness of BMP's (Best Management Practices)
• A study of available non-violent technologies designed to deter or repel attack
• What to expect operationally when armed guards are used on board
• Naval update: operational spread & available support
• Implementing the correct legal response and understanding liability
