Would you benefit from meeting your industry peers to find out what they are doing to keep their fleets safe even while budgets are being cut?

In a time when worldwide piracy is providing an unpredictable, varied and increasingly violent threat, your attention is being pulled in many different directions. Maintaining a proactive and robust security strategy for operations in the Gulf of Aden is vital to ensure the continued safety of your crew.

In order to stay ahead it’s critical to understand the very latest developments that will affect how you approach your security strategy at a strategic, practical and individual level.

The Combating Piracy event series gives you access to counter-piracy intelligence you can’t find elsewhere. The focus for this 14th update is on sharing experiences.  At this industry-leading gathering of CSOs, you receive all the information you need to get together and get ahead.

This year’s speaker faculty will share rare insights into how they are continuing to implement a proactive and cost effective security strategy. You will leave armed with practical intelligence that you can take back to the office and apply immediately to build an impenetrable security strategy.
