Re-Activation
of Ad Hoc Panel #8 on
Safety
of Passenger Ships
This
Ad Hoc Panel was first formed in 1999, prior to the start of the IMO Large
Passenger Ship initiative, but after a short burst of interest, it went
dormant.
RADM
Gordon Piché USCG (Ret.) and Paul Cojeen accepted the challenge
to revitalize the panel, in an area that is of high importance to SNAME
and its members. To assist this effort, the Society has assembled a team
to review the safety aspects of passenger vessels. This
panel will explore several safety aspects including damaged stability,
lifesaving systems, evacuations, and safety and risk assessments.
We
invite all members to participate in this panel.

latest addition to the site can be viewed by clicking here:

USCG Deepwater Program Web Site
To continue to meet America’s
21st century maritime threats and challenges, the US Coast Guard initiated
the Integrated Deepwater System (IDS) Program, the largest and most innovative
acquisition in the Coast Guard's history. The IDS is not just new ships
and aircraft, but an integrated, performance-based approach to upgrading
existing assets while transitioning to newer, more capable platforms, with
improved systems for Command, Control, Communications and Computers, Intelligence,
Surveillance, Reconnaissance (C4ISR), and innovative logistics support.
