We had a great Focus Event on 5th Feb at the Australian Maritime College’s training space at the Australian Maritime Museum in Sydney. The IALA ENAV working group were there along with a distinguished panel to explain about the latest fascinating developments in Maritime Digital Communications (photos above). It was wonderful to hear how things are progressing at a very fast pace in this area. Then on 13th Feb Captain John Cardelli gave an interesting talk at the combined meeting of the NI/CoMMA/AIN in Sydney. Please look in the Members Area for a details and photos of the presentation.
