Past event: Afloat Support and Naval Logistics 2012 Conference

Effective afloat support is decisive in maintaining the wide spectre of current naval operations around the globe. From supporting troops engaged in expeditionary missions, the protection of crucial shipping lanes to engaging in humanitarian missions afloat support has never been more important and this trend will only continue to grow into the future.

Afloat Support and Naval Logistics 2012, then, provides a timely and eminent opportunity for the afloat support and naval logistics community to gain the information it needs on the latest platforms and technology to confront an uncertain and multifaceted environment.


Key themes of the conference will include:

  • An update on the Royal Navy's MARS Programme and its future development.
  • Assessing how navies are increasing the life span of logistic support vessels through retro-fitting.
  • Sharing timely and priceless operational feedback from NATO and EU missions around the Horn of Africa and Libya.
  • How emerging nations' recapitalisation programmes are seeking to develop their auxiliary fleets.
  • Investigating future afloat support technologies and systems and whether the commercial sector can take on an increased role in the afloat support arena.
