This year's Asian Marine Insurance and Surveying Forum will be held in Bangkok November 15 to 16 at the Sofitel Silom Hotel.

An intensive one-day training workshop will take place the day before the conference to provide delegates an in-depth perspective on the subjects presented, organisers said.

The event is intended to present the latest international trends and bring new products to Asia as delegates share experience and industry knowledge with representatives from Asian countries, the Middle East, Europe, the US, Australia and New Zealand.

"Delegates can also find information on new technology and equipment to help in the course of their work while mingling with potential new employers," said a statement from the organisers.

As Asia's only marine insurance and surveying forum, the two-day conference has been endorsed by The Society of Consulting Marine Engineers and Ship Surveyors (SCMS), International Institute of Marine Surveying (IIMS), and The Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors (SAMS).
