MSC12, the fifth event in the Maritime Security Challenges Series, was held in October 2012. More than 150 international delegates representing more than 18 countries – and six continents – participated in the conference proceedings and discussions.

Vice Admiral Paul Maddison, Commander of the Royal Canadian Navy, delivered the conference keynote address, while Admiral Sir Mark Stanhope, First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff of the Royal Navy presented our banquet address.

Other topics of discussion included;

  • Developments in aircraft carriers
  • Maritime applications of unmanned and autonomous vehicles
  • Security issues in the Gulf of Guinea
  • The illegal movement of people and illicit cargoes at sea
  • Shipbuilding and future naval requirements

You can find full details related to speakers and the conference programme on our Past Conferences page.

A few highlights of the proceedings are embedded below, and others can be found on the MSC Conference Youtube Channel.

We would again like to thank the supporters from Maritime Security Challenges 2012 who helped to make that conference one of our best yet, including Royal Roads University, the Asia Pacific Center for Security Studies, Maritime Forces Pacific of the Royal Canadian Navy, and our corporate sponsors, supporters, and marketing partners.
