On 21 September, the Support Council for the 19th IALA Conference held its third general meeting, as part of its initiative to spread a boom for the success of the Conference. The Council was briefed on the progress made so far since the last Council meeting, as well as the Conference Secretariat’s future tasks. In addition, the Council members exchanged ideas on an exhibition manual aimed at providing basic guidelines for the Industrial Exhibition, and IMC Evening.

From September 18 to 22, 2017, the 21st meeting of the ENAV Committee (ENAV21) was held in IALA Headquarters. On behalf of the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries (MOF), Mr. Seungcheol Lee, a staff member of the 19th IALA Conference Secretariat, said that all staff members of the Secretariat, including himself, are at the height of preparation for the Conference and urged full support for and interest in the 19th IALA Conference 2018 from all participants.

With less than 250 days left in the 19th IALA Conference 2018, Korea took center stage from 80 delegates over 30 countries gathered in IALA HQ for the 44th Session of the IALA Vessel Traffic Services Committee (VTS44) from September 25 – 29, 2017.

The 7th meeting of the ENG Committee (ENG 7) was held in IALA HQ from October 9 to 13, 2017. 51 people from 22 countries attended this session of ENG Committee. Mr. BAE Yongchan, a member of IALA Conference Secretariat at the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, invited participants to attend the 19th IALA Conference 2018.

During the session of the Heritage Forum, the 2nd World Lighthouse Heritage Exhibition was convened on October 10 with Korean delegation. The Committee discussed a number of issues pertinent to the layout and content of the proposed exhibition, reflecting on the initial floor plan shown to the committee.

In addition, the IALA Council-approved revision of the Incheon Declaration was reviewed during the Incheon Declaration Committee. There were no further comments on the draft.

At the point of 8 months left towards the 19th IALA Conference 2018, the 3rd International Steering Committee (ISC3) and Stakeholders Consultation Meeting (SCM) were held in IALA HQ from October 18 to 20, 2017. 20 participants, including ISC Chair Mike CARD, ISC members, the 19th IALA Conference Secretariat, Incheon Metropolitan City and Korea Association of Aids to Navigation attended the meetings. Various agendas such as the selection of abstracts, names of session chairpersons and preparation progress of each event were discussed, and the meeting participants agreed on the overall Conference programme. Especially a paperless system using the latest information technology for the environmentally friendly Conference and e-Voting system for the 13th IALA General Assembly were demonstrated and adopted unanimously.

The Stakeholders Consultation Meeting concurrently held with ISC3 has very considerable values as an opportunity to evaluate the preparation works, to bring about detailed plans and schedules for the major events in the Conference, and to decide on a stakeholder which will practically lead each event. All results drawn from this meeting will be serving as the foundation of making the Conference preparation works more concrete and well-established for 8 months left.

Until the next ISC meeting scheduled in February next year in IALA HQ, the Conference Secretariat will put their utmost efforts in the Conference preparation.
