The Event
Embark in the event that focuses on Prevention and Safety in the maritime market!
Cedros Lda and Everlux Maritime (a brand owned by Ertecna, Lda) have been successful partners in organizing benchmark events in Prevention and Safety – Fire & Security and Health & Safety. They have now joined forces for a new partnership to organize a unique and innovative event in Portugal – the Onboard Safety Conference.
The Onboard Safety Conference is an innovative and multidisciplinary initiative that will promote the debate on the present and the future of Safety in the maritime sector, in different aspects.
Consisting of three major conferences, focused on pertinent and current topics that are in line with the National Strategy for the Seas 2021-2030, the Onboard Safety Conference will certainly contribute to the development and discussion of Prevention and Safety among professionals in this industry.
As an annual initiative, it will surely become a benchmark in Portugal and in Portuguese-speaking countries, but also in the international maritime sector, by bringing together recognized professionals in the several fields, so that they can share all their know-how with those interested in the maritime industry and, particularly, to contribute to the safety of every stakeholder in this sector.
The three conferences that comprise this important event take place over the course of a year, the first was in November of 2023, the second will be in May of 2024 and the last of this first edition of the Onboard Safety Conference will happen in November of 2024.
Chronologically, the three conferences will focus on these generic themes:
- Shipyards;
- Offshore Wind Farms;
- The National Ocean Strategy 2021-2030
