Marine Industry Day 2018

The Greater New Orleans Port Safety Council will host the 7th Annual Marine industry Day Conference on Thursday, May 24, 2018 at the Ace Hotel. This valuable one-day program is presented in conjunction with USCG Sector New Orleans for the benefit of the maritime community and is free to attend, including complementary breakfast and lunch. In addition to the valuable information and networking opportunities, our conference format provides the opportunity to connect and communicate directly with our government partners from US Customs and Border Protection, the US Army Corps of Engineers, and NOAA/National Weather Service as well the US Coast Guard.

The agenda is shaping up to be relevant and informative, and you can look forward to valuable panels and presentations on Cybersecurity in the maritime environment, Safety Management Systems, Subchapter M, Hurricane Season 2018, High Water Issues, Facility Security, DOT vs. Non-DOT Testing, Port State Control issues, a CBP policy and updates session, and more. The conference opens with breakfast and a morning session that includes presentations and panels on topics of interest to all attendees. Following lunch, we will move to our afternoon breakout sessions, which are focused on a variety of specific issues. Due to the diverse and dynamic nature of the maritime industry in Louisiana, policies and changes affect each company differently, and these afternoon sessions are designed for collaboration and communication. Attendees can listen and learn, then ask questions, share concerns and opinions, and develop ideas and solutions with local industry leaders and our government partners.

This event is free due to the generous support we receive from our sponsors each year. We also have a limited number of exhibitor spaces available for the day. If your company is interested in supporting our 7th Annual Marine industry Day or showcasing what you have to offer, please send an email to christine.titus@louisianamaritime.org for more information on sponsorship benefits. This conference provides a unique opportunity to benefit the entire maritime industry as well as reach an audience that includes representatives from every category of operations in the professional community.
