"Safety at Sea" National Maritime Day
Seminar Series

May 23rd, 2016, 2:00pm-10:00pm, National Press Club

This seminar is designed to bring industry and governmental leaders together to discuss concerns about safety and strategies for meeting them. Why are ships finding themselves in distress, running aground, colliding? What role does ECDIS play? How about training? Are crews overburdened? We celebrate National Maritime Day by reflecting on the role the maritime industry plays economically and globally. The evening celebrates over 150 merchant shipping companies that volunteer to be available for maritime emergency response.
