    Dear Committee Members,

Unique to the Fall 2021 meetings, the Committee is offering two events. The first, on Wednesday, November 3rd at 3:30 p.m. (EDT), is jointly hosted with the Carriage Of Goods Committee and will include a panel discussion on mega-container vessels and the application of the ancient maritime remedy of General Average in modern times.

    The second, on Saturday, November 6th, offers an exceptional in-person experience at Massachusetts Maritime Academy aboard the USTS KENNEDY and a bridge simulator. The day will include multiple presentations, including: cyber security and hacking a cargo ship; initial actions onboard and casualty response from the perspective of a P&I/Hull correspondent; responding to a marine pollution event; considerations when dealing with the USCG; COLREGS; and US Government investigations, interests, and privileges. Don’t miss this SEA-L-E opportunity!

    Regards,
    William Fennell, Chair
