The Selendang Ayu and the Future of Shipping Safety - Public Forum
29 March 2005
Anchorage - Wilda Marston Theater, Loussac Library
The Forum will consist of two parts:
1. Selendang Ayu Incident - the State of Alask and US Coast Guard will present an overview of what has transpired to date, and what is planned this spring/summer regarding this particular incident.
2. Future of Shipping Safety - panel discussion of potential measures to reduce the risk/improve the safety of merchang shipping through the Aleutians/ southern Bering Sea - State of Alaska, Coast Guard, and others.
The Forum will be just that - an opportunity to listen and learn, as well as to comment, question, and discuss solutions. Thus, we envision a substantial audience question/comment period. So, this will be a good opportunity to learn more about the Selendang Ayu incident, and importantly to discuss ways to enhance the safety of shipping in this region, and hopefully prevent and/or better respond to such diasters in the future.
Open to the public - free of charge.
