Why you should attend:

Marine emergencies have a significant impact on all parties involved from ship owners, operators and charterers, to third parties such as insurers, coastal states and classification societies. Specific operational risks need to be identified, and contingency plans put in place. Crisis at sea may lead to high levels of media scrutiny and coverage for those involved. It is vital that crisis communications are managed professionally and that you know what it takes to effectively represent your organisation.

Following the success of previous Managing Maritime Emergencies seminars, we are offering the seminar again this year. Managing Maritime Emergencies will give you detailed insights into the reality of emergency and media response in the shipping context. Through lectures, discussion and role-play led by industry experts and experienced crisis responders, you will be made aware of the key issues and skills necessary to manage a maritime emergency.

You will participate in a realistic scenario that will teach you how to communicate effectively with the media and all stakeholders to manage your reputation and protect your business.

• Commercial and technical personnel from ship owners, operators, charterers. Trading companies and ship managers
