Marine Log - December 2008 - (Page 14) OG MARINEL CONFERENCE & EXPO Arlington, Va. Jan. 27-28, 2009 CONFERENCE SESSIONS Maritime and port security could take a whole new direction next year under President-elect Obama and a Democratic-led Congress. A new Administration means new faces, new power centers and new policies. At Marine Log’s Maritime & Port Security 2009 Conference & Expo, you’ll learn first hand what’s what from our very plugged-in panelists. A hot topic will be container security. Expect a new push on the "Scan Every Box" requirement. It was a great slogan, but is it really feasible? We'll consider what's happening to moderate this mandate and put something just as effective, but more workable in its place. Unfortunately, Coalition Naval Forces have thus far proven bet- ter at photographing Somali pirates than sinking them. We'll look at the extent of the threat off the Horn of Africa, what meeting maritime security compliance requirements—including unexpected ones. THE EXPO The Expo accompanying the event will showcase the latest technologies available in the transportation security market. Be sure to visit our exhibitors during the breaks.

Politics, ports, piracy & pains-in-the-neck shipowners are being advised to do, what they can legally do to protect themselves—and if worst comes to worst—what's involved in hostage negotiations. And, nobody said that compliance would be a joy. But there are steps you can take to avoid needless headaches. A major component of the conference will consist of sharing experiences in http://www.marinelog.com
