At any time, there are about 1,000 ships in port. More than 12,000 oil tankers and 3,000 chemical tankers call at Singapore a year. With the substantial amount of oil and chemicals being shipped in and out of the island, safeguarding our waters and port terminals agains threats remains a top priority of the MPA. Singapore was the first country in Asia to sign the US Container Security Initiative (CSI). Singapore maintains a high level of maritime vigilance for the port and its waterways. This is carried out throught the work of the MPA, the enforcement and security agencies and terminal operators.

This conference should not be just about Singapore port security but cover all aspects of Government Regulations and initiatives in “enforcing” security at ports and how this can be achieved; maritime domain awareness and the security of international as well as regional waters (piracy prevention); key initiatives locally and worldwide in enforcing maritime security; and countering terrorism attacks and disaster managements; compliance guidelines and the latest emerging port security capabilities.

While incidents in the Malacca Straits have declined, Somalia has now become the backdrop against which increasing levels of piracy are seen. With both the frequency and violence of attacks thought to be growing, there is mounting pressure on governments, international agencies, and the shipping industry to tackle the problem.

Tackling piracy is an international conference that will bring together all those concerned with or affected by piracy at sea to discuss what solutions can be found. As insurance companies offer kidnap negotiators under owners` policies, is it right for ship operators to pay ransoms to pirates in order to minimize risk to crews and cargo? Or is their willingness to pay up encouraging piracy, with attackers motivated by their enhanced chances of commercial or political gain?

By examining a whole range of solutions, from improved international co-operation, the provision of greater naval protection or deployment of private security organizations, to looking at the effectiveness of preventative measures and the argument for industry to fund policing, Tackling Piracy will offer an ideal forum to both assess the problem and to pinpoint some possible answers.

Tackling Piracy is an essential conference to attend for all ship operators, governments, regulatory bodies, industry associations, private security organizations, insurance companies and P&I Clubs and coastguards.

* Detailed case studies from experts in the field on security in the ports, responding to incidents, piracy and armed robbery

PLUS

* One day SCENARIO-BASED workshop on managing a maritime security situation

Why you should attend:

Recent incidents of terrorism have inevitably heightened awareness about the vulnerability to attacks of all modes of transport, and in particular shipping. Port and ship security has emerged as the most significant area of threat. Given the pivotal role shipping plays in international trade, the IMO adopted the ISPS Code to improve security measures. The ISPS code requires that ships and port facilities have security plans in place. Will your security plan be enough to protect your ship, crew or terminal if you become the victim of an attack?

This seminar will examine the legislation in this area and also look into the security threats currently faced by container vessels, passenger ships and ports.

Presentations and case studies from experts coupled with an interactive scenario based workshop will provide you with an understanding of how to mitigate, deter and prevent possible threats.

Specifically tailored presentations and a highly interactive scenario based workshop will provide attendees with a clear understanding and skills necessary to deal with a security incident. The scenario based workshop will feature a continuously evolving mock crisis that will pull together all the topics discussed during the seminar in a live environment.
Who should attend:

* Ship Owners & Managers
* Ship Security Officers (SSO)
* Company Security Officers (CSO)
* Port Facility Security Officers (PFSO)
* Maritime Journalists
* Marine Insurers
* Senior Risk Analysts
* Marine Investigators
* Safety Managers
* Class Societies/ Recognised Security Organisations (RSO)
