Last year's 2002 Marine Surveying & Loss Prevention Forum, held in Shekou, proved to be a very popular event. At last year's event, delegates unanimously voted HoChiMinh City, Vietnam as the venue for the 2003 Marine Surveying & Loss Prevention Forum and we are pleased to be able to now advise that all arrangements have been finalised.

October 23-24th, 2003 .. at the infamous Caravelle Hotel, HoChiMinh City, Vietnam. Mark the date and note the place as this will be the principal conference for anyone associated with the marine surveying industry, in Asia, for 2003.

This year's theme will be :

.. towards maintaining & improving international standards in Asia !

Vietnam's shipping industry is fast developing and in addition to the growing exports of primary products and raw materials, more and more Vietnamese companies are becoming involved in the transportation trade .. in a coastal country such as Vietnam - that mean's shipping! As a developing nation in terms of international shipping practices, Vietnam shows lots of promise and is keen to learn from people and countries experienced in international maritime matters.

Vietnam is a wonderful country, with warm and friendly people and delegates are encouraged to spend the weekend and explore some of the beauties of this mystic land with its wealth of history.

We look forward to seeing you in HoChiMinh City (Saigon) in October.
