In response to maritime security concerns raised during the recent Dubai Port World controversy, Maritime TV (www.MaritimeTV.com), a TV Worldwide Internet TV channel dedicated to maritime industry issues and events, has scheduled an interactive, national webcast highlighting a strategy to deploy more U.S crews on ships carrying sensitive cargo, including Liquid Natural Gas (LNG), in U.S. ports. The webcast is being produced after a white paper on this issue, recently released by industry professionals and the Maritime TV editorial staff, received an overwhelming response and generated national attention. Feedback to Maritime TV on this issue during the recent port debate indicated that there is a deepening public, industry and government anxiety about the threat to homeland security posed by foreign-crewed ships with sensitive cargoes in U.S. ports and a need to quickly implement a comprehensive strategy to address the concern.
The free 90-minute webcast will feature a panel of industry representatives and maritime experts live in Maritime TV's Washington D.C.-area studios and on-line. The webcast will begin at 1 PM ET on Thursday, March 16th at www.MaritimeTV.com, and will be archived for later viewing on the channel for a full year. DVD and CD-ROM video copies will also be made available to interested parties, on-line at Maritime TV along with the most recent version of the white paper on this issue. |
