MARITIME & PORT SECURITY 2008 CONFERENCE & EXPO • JAN. 28-29, 2008 • CRYSTAL GATEWAY MARRIOTT ARLINGTON, VA TABLETOP EXHIBITS & SPONSORSHIPS AVAILABLE Market to both the rail and maritime industries. Contact Jane Poterala T: (212) 620-7209 jpoterala@sbpub.com OG MARINEL With more than seven million containers flowing through U.S. ports annually, maritime security experts fear that the easiest way for terrorists to introduce a nuclear device or Weapon of Mass Destruction may be inside one of these boxes. The U.S. already has several container security initiatives underway. Are they working or should the shipping industry and government be doing something else? Is 100% scanning of containers useful and practical? Seafarers are a valuable link in the maritime security chain. So why are we treating them as part of the problem rather than the solution? These are just a handful of issues that will be addressed at MARINE LOG’S MARITIME & PORT SECURITY 2008 by prestigious speakers from around the world. They will relate their firsthand experience of living in today’s maritime and port security environment. They will draw on that experience to point out how to avoid common, easily avoided, compliance lapses that can result in penalties and delays to ships and cargoes. The conference is supported by exhibits and is once again being held in parallel with the annual RAILWAY SECURITY FORUM & EXPO. The conference fee includes all sessions, luncheons and social breaks, as well as the cocktail reception and the conference documentation on CD (mailed post–conference).
