Invitation

The Australian Maritime Safety Authority, Australian Shipowners Association, Shipping Australia and the Association of Australian Ports and Marine Authorities invite you to Melbourne for the 4th National Shipping Industry Conference - Natship 2004.

With the theme "Charting a course for safety, security and service" the conference will focus on international shipping issues and their impact on the Australian trade.

We expect some challenging and informative viewpoints from some 28 presenters from Europe, the United Kingdom, United States and major companies, organisations and Government authorities involved in the Australian maritime industry on a broad variety of topics from commercial development, new technologies, ship and port operations, ship and crew safety, environment protection, labour, opportunities for the future and the word on everyone's lips - security.

I am sure you will agree the program provides a much needed insight into the crucial issues of the maritime industry today.

With your participation we know the conference will be a huge success.
