The
WMTC is held every 3 years, hosted by a member of
the World Maritime Technology Congress in
partnership with 25 of the world’s leading maritime
associations. The First Conference (WMTC 2003) was
organized in San Francisco by The Society of Naval
Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME). The second
Conference (WMTC 2006) was conducted in London by
the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and
Technology (IMarEST). The third Conference (WMTC
2009) will be hosted, for the first time in Asia, by
The Institute of Marine Engineers (India) in Mumbai
from January 21st to 24th 2009. The aim of WMTC 2009
is to bring professionals from various countries,
organisations and disciplines of marine industry on
a common platform to exchange ideas on the latest
developments in the maritime world and seek a way
forward for working together. |

The
World Maritime Technology Conference is an
influential and prestigious forum for the global
shipping community. It is a sound reflection of the
strength of the Indian maritime community and the
high quality capabilities of Institute of Marine
Engineers (India) that the conference will, for the
first time, be held in Mumbai. Technology and
engineering go hand-in-hand with vessel surveying
and classification and so it gives me great pleasure
to wish the conference every success. |

Eliminating the sub-standard in shipping is a worthy
ambition and one which lies at the heart of most of
what we try to achieve at IMO. It is possible to
point to two broad themes that run through much of
our work in this regard; on the one hand are matters
relating to the human element in shipping; and, on
the other, are technological advances, which play a
key role in moving the cause of maritime safety
forward. |
 |
|
The
Prestigious World Maritime Technology Conference (WMTC)
provides a valuable forum for experts from many of
the different disciplines that make up the maritime
industry to share their progress and achievements
with their peers in the maritime field. Similarly,
the related exhibition enables manufacturers,
shipbuilders and service providers to Showcase their
products and services. |
|
The
Institute of Marine Engineers (India) is to be
congrratulated on having been selected by the World
Maritime Technology Congress to host this event in
2009. India is a country in transformation and is
now stepping firmly onto the world stage in so many
areas. She is rapidly becoming a leader in many
sectors of the industry and the choice of India as
host for this conference is testmony to her growing
importance and status within it. And, as an aside,
the fact that this conference will go ahead in
Mumbai just a few short weeks after the terrorist
atrocities that took place there sends another
strong message that the civilized world will not be
bowed by their attempts to wreak havoc and
disruption. |
|
I wish
you a productive and successful outcome to you
deliberations, and commend the organizers and their
partners for their foresight and vision in bringing
this important event to fruition once again. |
