Venue: Limassol, Cyprus

Digital Ship magazine, together with Cyprus Shipping Chamber ICT subcommittee, have put together a strong program for our 6th Digital Ship Cyprus conference (February 3-4 in Limassol, see www.thedigitalship.com/cyprus.htm), to help you get to grips with the challenges of today's shipping industry, and learn about new ways digital technology can help overcome them.

Senior executives from Interorient Navigation, Bernard Schulte Shipmanagement, Intership Navigation, Uniteam Marine and Unicom will be giving advice on how to maintain seafarer welfare, manage crew training, and meet demands for environmental performance and safety, whilst carefully managing expenditure - with sessions chaired by senior executives from Columbia, Reederei Nord and MSC.

The conference includes advice about how to get the most from the latest maritime satellite communications, software and navigation technology - in our exhibition, you can try it out and meet the people behind it.

In these nervous and uncertain times, it is perhaps even more important to spend time with your industry colleagues, share advice and explore ways to develop your business. We have worked hard to create an event which helps you to do that, and will make good use of your time.

Everybody is invited to a dinner in central Limassol on February 3rd, courtesy of our main event sponsor, Inmarsat.
