The Theme of RAN Sea Power Conference 2006 is: ‘Challenges Old and New’. The conference is again being organised by the Sea Power Centre – Australia. The aim of the 2006 Conference is to review permanency and change in the maritime environment and the underlying key drivers of the conduct of maritime operations. The invited speakers, have been chosen to present a range of perspectives in a creative and provocative way to generate greater discussion of the challenges facing navies in the early 21st Century.

The Pacific 2006 International Maritime Conference has as its theme: ‘Innovations in Maritime Technology – Visions and Progress’. It has again been organised by Engineers Australia, in conjunction with IMarEST and the Royal Institution of Naval Architects. The aim of the conference is to provide a forum for discussion in keeping with the theme so as to foster the further development of maritime engineering, technology and associated marine sciences.

Conference delegates are entitled to attend sessions at either conference as well gaining entry to the International Maritime Exposition, which is located in the conference halls 4, 5 and 6 in the Convention Centre.

“Coast and Ocean Mapping – Discovering the Depths of Planet Ocean”, at the World Maritime Technology Conference

Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, London

Organised by the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST).

The measurement, description and depiction of the nature and form of the seabed has been crucial to the exploration and management of marine resources, yet, we know more about the surface of the moon that the ocean floor. This conference stream focuses on the development of new and innovative hydrographic and ocean mapping technologies and their applications.

6-10 March 2006

“Reefs of the World – Addressing the Global Threats”, at the World Maritime Technology Conference

Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, London

Organised by the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST).

Reefs are hotspots for biodiversity, have high economic value as both tourism sites and productive fishing locations and in some shallow locations they present a challenge to shipping operations. Reefs also present an opportunity for a balanced approach to integrated ocean management where there is a challenge to create stability between the pressure from economic development and the high conservation value. This conference stream will focus on coral, temperate, deepwater and artificial reefs and their common traits.
