Cash-strapped ship operators aren’t only concerned about the economy, but also environmental compliance and criminal liability. Ship operators often must comply with confusing and impractical series of regulations and standards. This track provides practical, real-world steps for compliance.
The U.S. will be the world’s largest oil producer by 2015, surpassing Saudi Arabia and Russia. This track will explore not only the opportunities for the U.S. to be “energy independent,” but also to export oil and gas and what it means for the U.S. flag fleet and shipbuilders.
With vessel construction opportunities increasing, shipyards are expanding their workforces. This track will look at some of the most successful programs for shipyard safety, training and retention, as well as examine the markets for vessel construction and repair.
