Wednesday 4th & Thursday 5th November 2009
Sofitel Philippine Plaza, Manila

The world's primary manning hub, the Philippines, will play host to our 10th Anniversary Manning & Training Conference this November.

Ship manning is entering uncharted territory and needs to show a united front to emerge stronger from the downturn. It must find solutions together and learn from past mistakes past to make sure there are sufficient competent crews to man the world's shipping fleets when markets recover.

The conference promises an unrivalled opportunity for all involved in manning to exchange ideas and build and deepen relationships across the industry. Attendance is a must for all companies seeking to contribute to and benefit from the Philippines' key role in manning, as well as the future of the global industry.

Key issues featuring at this pivotal event:

• Current shipping market dynamics: where are we now
• Strategies of leading crew-supply centres: Philippines, China, India & Europe
• Recruitment to the shipping industry in challenging times
• Current & future regulations: the MLC & STCW reviewed
• Lessons learnt: a Manning & Training retrospective
