Future focus for next generation vessel workshops

Three one-day next generation vessel workshops focusing on the future of operational safety and equipment procurement take place in the UK this week.

The dynamic programme for the workshops will focus on sub IMO/sub 24 metre vessels

The dynamic programme for the workshops will focus on sub IMO/sub 24 metre vessels bringing together a high-level group of presenters from all sectors including workboats, ports, security, search & rescue and defence.

“When groups of maritime professionals get together their shared knowledge and experiences can improve both the performance of their organisations and the broader seafarer workplace,” said John Haynes, organiser and managing director, Shock Mitigation.

The unique knowledge gained from presentations and panel discussions will help to shape decisions that lead to improvements for in-service equipment and procurement.

Supporters of the event include British Marine, SSA, UK Maritime Pilots Association, Southampton Marine & Maritime Institute, University of Southampton, SKYDEX, Scot Seats, SHOXS, Grammer Nautic, Shockwave, Spinlock, 3Si, Ocean Safety and Dyena.

The event will be held at the Grand Harbour hotel Southampton from 24 to 26 October 2017. More information from www.shockmitigation.com
