IQPC Seaport Security India

India’s peninsula is one of the longest in the world with each port requiring tailor made security systems to suit specific needs and challenges. Terrorism, hijacking, smuggling, piracy and theft are all major issues that Indian ports currently struggle with. IQPC’s Seaport Security India will address today’s key port security challenges and identify best practices to monitor and prevent incidents.

Recently breaches in port security have had devastating repercussions; consequently highlighting the importance of more effective security structures. While plans to triple port capacity in India are underway, few ports in India have increased security levels from Level 1 to Level 2 in accordance with the ISPS code.

Seaport Security India, the latest event in IQPC’s international series, has been designed in conjunction with industry leaders with the purpose of providing invaluable insight into addressing the challenges facing the seaport and maritime security sector in 2011 and beyond. This interactive event is the perfect platform for you to network and engage with the thought leaders of the port and maritime industry and benefit from world class expertise all in one place for application at seaports to manage and prevent breaches in security.
