“Seaborne piracy against transport vessels results in annual losses of
an estimated $13-$16 billion.”
Conference Focus
Maritime Security in the US has been a focus since 9/11 with
increasingly stringent port and border security requirements being
mandated. However recent events have turned attention once again to
terrorism in the maritime domain. The US has over 300 ports of entry
across the country and some of the busiest and largest ports globally
making the country vulnerable to attack. Global container traffic in the
maritime arena has also lent itself to be the perfect disguise for a WMD
or dirty bomb that would affect thousands. In addition international
events of piracy have led to an increased focus on the shipping
community and subsequent supporting roles various government agencies
may have in such a crisis. As the maritime arena continues to be one of
the most vulnerable and complex domains the need for collaborative
preparedness and response is essential.
The marcus evans Maritime Security Conference will bring together
professionals from industry and government to discuss the challenges
involved in protecting the maritime domain.
