Transforming the Marine Transportation System: A Vision for Research and Development

The Committee on the Marine Transportation System, in cooperation with the Transportation Research Board, hosted a conference on research and development for the Marine Transportation System June 29 through July 1, 2010.  The conference was held at the Beckman Center of the National Academies in Irvine California and was a big success.  Many of the issues discussed are pertinent to Harbor Safety Committees and members of the maritime community.

You can view the conference agenda as well as all the presentations given at the following website: Research and Development Conference

To view the presentation, simply click on the topic in the agenda (underlined) and the appropriate file will open.  The presentations are excellent and well worth your time to peruse. While you're exploring the agenda from the R&D Conference, now is the time to start thinking of ideas for next year's HSC/AMSC conference.  If you have any ideas, please feel free to post them to this blog as comments to this blog.
