Lloyd's List Events, supported by the Nautical Institute, Containerisation International and Lloyd's Shipping Manager announced the first conference focusing on the evolution of the containership. This two-day event offers a timely opportunity to assess the future evolution of the containership at a time of global revolution in the liner shipping trade. It will act as a unique forum to review critical issues in design, build and operation – assessing the trends in larger, faster ships; raising safety concerns, including the tonnage/load line issue, excessive rolling and on-deck stowage of containers.
This conference offers a timely opportunity for examining the growth in size of containerships, ports and infrastructure, critical review and debate of containership safety, design, build & operational issues. Builder and port operator case studies will be presented.
