Website:
www.sss2012.org
Main theme
This is a unique opportunity for the international shipping community to come together and discuss the never
ending short sea shipping market and short sea shipping related issues. This international forum provides the
opportunity to discuss the present issues, recent trends, technological, operational and legislative developments
and the challenges to be faced by short sea shipping in the future.
This discussion builds upon the body of knowledge and research carried out so far and presented in the regional
meetings, at encouraging ongoing international information exchange, at strengthening the regional network,
at building knowledge upon difference of opinion and experience, and fostering exchange of expertise and learning
through active participation of community representatives, academia, governments, private research agencies
and national research centres. In addition, it is fostered by the world economic activity and deep-sea trades activity.
On behalf of Cargo Edições Lda, I am honoured to invite the International Research Community, the Industry,
International Organizations and Governments to participate in this international Conference by submitting a conceptual,
empirical or theoretical research paper in the topics provided below, which broadly cover the shipping, ports and logistics
industries. Participants will have the opportunity to discover a city full of historical monuments that remind us of the
strength and entrepreneurship of the earlier navigators who slowly went on discovering new lands and people that gave
origin to new countries, and which are part of today’s international community.

Main theme
New specializations are emerging in the measures that militaries, governments, corporations, and individuals take to deter or stop terrorist attacks and criminal activity on the waterside in ports, coastal waters, and inland waters.
The advances are taking place amid globalization under new modes of multi-agency and multi-national interaction, and experts must now venture across longstanding domain boundaries—from operations to technology, policy, human factors, risk analysis, international law, economics, and more. The WSS 2010 conference seeks to foster cross-domain collaboration by bringing together industry, academia, and research institutions with common interests in the expanding field of waterside security.
