8th Annual Harbor Safety Committee Conference
The National Academies
NAS Building
2101 Constitution Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20418
April 26-28, 2006
Co-sponsored by TRB/Marine Board
Harbor Safety Committees (HSCs) are local coordinating bodies located throughout the country that work with the U.S. Coast Guard to address issues relating to the safety, security, mobility, and environmental protection of a port or waterway. HSCs coordinate issues relating to commercial as well as recreational marine transportation. Membership of HSCs is typically comprised of local representatives of governmental agencies, maritime labor and industry organizations, and public interest groups. While there are many issues that are unique to each port, there are also many that are common to all ports, whether coastal or riverine. Each year, these committees come together for a national conference that provides an opportunity for HSCs to engage in a robust exchange of information on current challenges, best practices, case studies, and lessons learned. Additionally, the conference offers the opportunity for HSCs to engage both public and private executive leaders on issues relating to marine transportation.
The Attendee and Speaker rates include all sessions, continental breakfast each morning, Wednesday and Thursday lunch, the Wednesday Evening Welcome Reception, and the Thursday Evening Reception.
The Spouse/Guest rate includes the Wednesday Evening Welcome Reception.
