Chantilly, Va. – Maritime TV (www.MaritimeTV.com) an Internet TV channel on the TV Worldwide Network dedicated to coverage of the maritime industry, announced that it had been selected by E.J. Krause and Associates as the official webcaster of the 2004 U.S. Maritime Security Expo, live from New York . N.Y. The free interactive webcast , which will also be featured on TV Worldwide's Homeland Defense TV Channel at www.homelanddefensetv.com will include interviews with industry leaders attending the show and highlight the latest products, services, keynote sessions, issues and news concerning maritime security and its important relevance to homeland defense. Premier webcast sponsors include the Embarcadero Systems, the University of Findlay Center for Terrorism Preparedness and Object Video.
Maritime TV attracted national press attention this summer over its video report highlighting deep industry and government concern about the threat to homeland security posed by the control of ships and crews in U.S. ports. http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/040528/067977.html. The video news release was part of a series of programs highlighting the contributions of the U.S. Merchant Marine in World War II surrounding the World War II Memorial Dedication in addition to video news reports on issues surrounding the decline of the U.S. flag fleet and what it means for homeland security. “During our coverage of Maritime Day and the World War II Memorial we were overwhelmed with industry and government commentary on what the demise of the U.S. flag fleet portends for homeland security,” remarked Dave Gardy, CEO of the TV Worldwide network. “This controversial issue is now being looked at in a whole new light of homeland security and defense vulnerability. We intend to continue coverage on this and many other maritime security issues during the webcast, in addition to highlighting the latest technology advances.”
Port and maritime security have recently been a top concern among security officials in Washington. “In the attacks of September 11, clearly we saw that the airplane became the bomb,” stated Ed Kittel, Chief of the Explosives Division for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) in a Maritime TV video news report. “It would not take much of a leap to show that a ship could become the bomb, particularly a ship with volatile cargo.”
The event will be archived for viewing at www.MaritimeTV.com and www.HomelandDefenseTV.com . Participants should have the free Windows Media Player installed prior to the event and should log on by 10:45 AM ET on Tuesday, September 14. The webcast will run from 11:00 PM-4 PM ET on Tuesday and Wednesday, September 15.
