Afloat Support & Naval Logistics 2013

The 5th Annual Afloat Support & Naval Logistics 2013 event will assess the latest developments in platforms and technology to tackle an increasingly uncertain and multifaceted operational environment, providing a unique forum for the afloat and naval support community to engage in debate with fellow naval officers and industry alike.

Operational challenges such as the loss of strength gradient, naval support platforms, seabasing, underway replenishment at sea and IT supply management systems will be covered by world-class speakers from NATO Headquarters, Royal Fleet Auxiliary, Philippines Navy and the European Defence Agency.
