ILO Maritime Labour Convention - the fourth pillar of regulation

Debate: Port State Oversight - What Does Flag State Bring to the Table?
Face the Press SessionDear Colleague,
While the primary task of enforcing compliance and the issuing of certificates falls on the flag state, port state control plays a pivotal role in the implementation and enforcement of international industry standards. For owners the choice of flag is an increasingly complex issue in which financial considerations based purely on the cost of registration have long ceased to be the determining factor. With flag states constantly under pressure to improve standards and operate quality vessels, the relationship between flag state, port state and classification societies is essential. Port State Control and Ship Registers presents the ideal forum to address both this circle of responsibility and broader flag issues.
Combining these two well established events will enhance networking opportunities for everyone. Our Shipowner's Panel including Alexander Papachristidis-Bove, George Gabriel and George Gourdomichalis, is bound to produce lively discussion! Also for the first time in a "Face the Press" session our panel of experts drawn from Class, PSC Authorities and the Registers will be questioned by senior editorial staff from Lloyd's List and Naftiliaki.
Ship Registers last came to Athens in 2002 and we are delighted to be returning with our new combined event this year. I look forward to welcoming you in April.

Θα σας πω ότι σε πρόσφατη επιθεώρηση, συζητήθηκε το θέμα ότι χρειάζεται να γίνεται φρεσκάρισμα των γνώσεων και των πιστοποιητικών ISM & ISPS ανα περίπου 5-αετία. Τέτοια σεμινάρια κυκλοφορούν από 300 ευρώ το φθηνότερο σε ιδιώτες και πάνω οι νηογνώμονες. Οι λόγοι προφανείς..... :D
