The Marine Insurance Risk and Safety Conference

Milla SA is pleased to announce its African Marine Insurance, Risk and Safety Conference (MIRSA) which will take place in March 2013. MIRSA Conference 2013 is where marine insurance, risk and safety practitioners from Africa and beyond will meet to discuss hot topics, network and engage with the experts and take a look at practical case studies.

Recent changes in the global economic climate have necessitated a fresh look at the way things are done across all industries in order to survive the increasing financial challenges that exist. The Marine industry which plays a critical role in the growth of several economies is no exception with large losses still occurring on a surprisingly regular basis. This brings about the question of how insurers are coping with these and what changes have taken place within the marine insurance industry that key stakeholders need to be aware of?

How do we curb the loss of life that still frequently occurs out at sea as a result of different elements such as piracy, changing climates and human error amongst many others? Great strides have been made in ensuring that navigational technology, hull design and systems are more efficient than ever before.

This conference provides a great showcase opportunity, as well as a platform to gauge potential areas for manufacturing improvement of large and small vessels. Crew scheduling, motivation and training are all vital elements of safety on board. Accident prevention is uppermost on every crew member's mind. How do accidents occur and what are the most important measures to take to prevent them? This conference will interrogate these and other pertinent topics.Make this a must attend event in your 2013 calendar.

I look forward to your participation and please bring your team.
