Be the first person to recommend this.
Economic Expansion Underway in Oman As the Sultanate of Oman begins to diversify its economy under plans for economic expansion, the government is actively committing resources to its logistics sector, as a result of which the ports of Sohar, Salalah, and Duqm and their surrounding free zones have seen major investments in the last few years.

SMC 2017 is on: We'll see you in Houston. Hurricane Harvey might have brought rain and destruction to the region, but the people of Houston are resilient and are already picking up the pieces.

Yesterday, Anne and I spent the day in Rockville, Maryland attending the funeral, mass, and reception for former SNAME president Ron Kiss with what was easily more than 200 of Ron and his wife June’s friends and family. It was quite an exceptional experience to celebrate Ron’s life with so many people who knew him so very well. His children and grandchildren told wonderful stories about his journey from a young boy fascinated with the water and sailing through school at Webb Institute. Many of his Webb classmates were in attendance to share their experiences and memories of Ron and June. The stories continued to include meeting and eventually marrying ...

The Secret to a Successful SNAME

By Martin Toyen posted 04-19-2017
1 person recommends this.
Dining out with my wife recently, I noticed something—as I looked around the restaurant I saw other guests with their heads buried in their phones, eyes stuck to a screen and not interacting with those sitting right in front of them. Each of us is guilty of using our phones a little too much, but personal connection is still vital for business and personal fulfillment. The Executive Committee and I have been discussing the value of being a SNAME member, and it occurred to me that at a time when people don’t interact in the way they once did, professional societies like ours are more important than ever before. SNAME is more than just technical content and ...
