BAHAMAS INTERNATIONAL MARITIME CONFERENCE AND TRADE SHOW

The world’s major shipping routes, supplying everything from raw materials to essential food products, would grind to a halt without seafarers. With shipping forming 90% of world trade, it is particularly pertinent that the theme for the 3rd BIMCATS is “The Mariner: Building on the Year of the Seafarer”. Preparations for the next BIMCATS event in Freeport, Grand Bahama, are well underway.

In today’s challenging economic times, A variety of subjects including practical ways to attract and retain the industry’s most vital resource – the mariner – will be address including:

  • The impact of the industry’s measures to address the current manning shortage.
  • The regulatory framework of the revised STCW Convention/Code and the International Maritime Labour Convention.
  • Measures being undertaken for the training and continued professional development of mariners.
  • Human element factors relating to maritime safety, security and marine environment protection.
  • The maritime opportunities available within The Bahamas.
