conference in October at the Sonesta Beach Resort and Spa.

The symposium, dubbed "1997, Bermuda, Navigating the Shoals of Corporate Risk'', will examine the issues and challenges facing today's marine community, said the spokeswoman for the organising firm, International Marketing Strategies Inc., Carleen Lyden-Kuss.

Atlantic Corporate Management president and association chairman, John O'Kelly-Lynch, said: "Companies today are exposed to increasingly strident and challenging risks and liabilities.

"This conference will help identify these areas with industry professionals sharing their expertise and proposed solutions to these complex issues.'' Areas to be covered in discussion include the best corporate risk management practices in the industry as safety conventions and legislation evolve, major developments in commercial law and tax legislation and the future of marine insurance and what options are available.

Others include strategies for minimising risk while satisfying regulatory demands, creating insurance products to meet industry needs and a look at future risks anticipated over the next 20 years.
