Greece seminar 2011

It has become a tradition for Norwegian Hull Club to invite Greek members, assureds, brokers and other associates to the Yacht Club of Greece's excellent premises in Piraeus in mid October for a seminar followed by a luncheon.

This year's event took place on Wednesday, October 19th which was a beautiful, sunny day but also a day when strikes and civil commotion was on the agenda for the country of Greece. In spite of the economic and political turmoil, some 85 guests seated themselves for an almost two hour long presentation on the theme " Mayday, Mayday, Mayday , - we have collided in position..." - a presentation focusing on how media reporting on incidents have changed since the mid 1970ies until today and some noticeable and easily applicable recommendations on how to best handle the challenges of tomorrow. The discussion was a vivid one, with good representation from the audience as well the Norwegian Hull Club staff.
