This time we organized the event in the Northern Capital of Russia - St. Petersburg! The panoramic view of " Aurora " from the conference room windows put us in the efficient mood and highlighted the marine topic. The speakers made participants think seriously about the fleet at the current stage of development, safety of shipping, equipping vessels with advanced devices and automation solutions. Obviously, there's a huge number of tasks and problems. I think we’ve made another step towards their solution and systematization".
