PROGRAM
Small and Medium Ship Safety ForumTopaz, Yeong Bin Gwan 1F
Hosting its fourth session this year, the “Small and Medium Ship Safety Forum” aims to explore the two major trends shaping the international maritime sector — digitalization and decarbonization (referred to as "2D") — from the perspective of small and medium ships. While these themes are often regarded as exclusive to international commercial vessels, this forum seeks to highlight their potential to offer solutions to the safety and environmental challenges faced by non-SOLAS vessels such as domestic ferries and fishing vessels. To this end, the forum will provide a platform to share cases from leading countries that integrate relevant technologies and policies into the operations of small and medium vessels.
