Developing strategies to protect seaports from external and internal threats to be discussed at SMi's International Port Security 2016
Registration is now open for SMi's 7th annual International Port Security conference which will take place on the 1st and 2nd June 2016 in London, UK.
- (1888PressRelease) February 10, 2016 - As the last line of defence, port security teams play a critical role in ensuring that the nation is protected from external harm. Therefore, it is essential for ports to boast the most stringent security measures possible, using the most up to date technology.
With continued migration into the EU through sea borders and the serious threat of terrorism, there is a pressing need for the maritime security community to collaborate and further strengthen relations in order to boost security.
International Port Security 2016 aims to bring together key decision makers in the industry to discuss modern methods of port security and provide effective learning experiences for all delegates through the carefully selected expert speaker line up.
Hosted over two days, hear from 9 international ports from across 4 continents including: Bremen, Dover, Helsingborg, Liverpool, Long Beach, Mombasa, Rotterdam, Santos and Vigo.
