4 Conference Chair: Michael Barritt MA FNI 25th - 26th October 2013 The Novotel Hotel, Bristol The Seminar The shipping industry will change dramatically over the next years. We are already seeing huge advances in technology and equipment transforming the ships being built today. Recruitment, retention and training of seafarers to cope with this new sophisticated industry will be crucial. More stringent regulations mean new methods of powering the vessels have to be developed. LNG, nuclear, wind and battery powered ships are being investigated Access to the oceans is increasingly being restricted through more industrial use of the seabed windfarms, oil and gas exploration, mining, etc. Ships may be restricted to certain corridors especially in coastal areas. This conference seeks to examine the development of the 21st century mariner in light of these issues. Issues such as crew sourcing and retention, qualifications and experience; transition from ship to shore; mentoring; and manning levels are the human element isues this conference will discuss. We will also look at the future of ship-owning and management and consider the prospect of increasing automation of vessels. The generous support of our sponsors has enabled us to keep the cost of the seminar at reasonable levels in order to encourage the attendance of sea-going officers and to offer students the opportunity to attend at advantageous rates. Who should attend? The seminar will benefit all those with an interest in the future of the shipping industry including: shipmasters, mariners, ship owners and operators, charterers, harbour authorities, surveyors, trainers, naval architects, claims handlers, maritime lawyers, P&I insurers and marine consultants
