CESMA  15^th ANNUAL GENERAL ASSEMBLY

Gijon, 18 – 19 May 2010

CESMA, the Confederation of European Shipmasters Associations, held its 15^th Annual General Assembly in Gijon (Asturias-Spain) on 18^th and 19^th May 2010, at the occasion of 3^rd European Maritime Day Stakeholder Conference. The AGA was attended by representatives from 9 countries: Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, France, Germany, Latvia, the Netherlands, Slovenia and Spain. Belgium was represented by the KBZ, Capt. J.Cuyt attending.

Meetings were presided by the CESMA President Capt. W. von Pressentin (VDKS).

…

The Annual General Assembly was concluded with the invitation of Capt. Slobodan Vrdoljak, representing the Croatian Masters’ Association ZHUPK, to hold its 16^th AGA in 2011 in Zadar, Croatia, which was received with applause.  

We are of the opinion that the KBZ should continue to give its full support to the CESMA initiatives, as it is through these channels that national organisations as the KBZ are able to play a certain role on the international maritime forum and make a valuable contribution to safety at sea.
