MARSIM 2009
International Conference on Marine Simulation and Ship Maneuverability
Greetings:
On behalf of the International Maritime Simulator Forum (IMSF) Organizing Committee, we invite you to the International Conference on Marine Simulation and Ship Maneuverability (MARSIM '09), which will be held in Panama from August 17-20, 2009. MARSIM '09 is a follow up to the previous conference held successfully in The Netherlands in 2006.
The program will discuss a variety of aspects relating to marine simulation. The objective of this conference is to create a scientific platform where new technical developments, research papers and simulation designs can be shared.
The conference also will showcase the use of marine simulators in the process of developing and improving ship maneuvering techniques. In addition, it will highlight the development of procedures to evaluate and improve safe and efficient ship handling.
MARSIM '09 will take place in Panama City. Well known as a tourist destination, it is the most cosmopolitan city in all of Central America and the capital of the most globalized economy in the region.
The city is tucked into the heart of Panama Bay which offers a sophisticated and distinctive skyline. A Caribbean flavor, diversity, eclectic culture and sheer energy exemplify some of the unique elements Panama City has to offer.
We look forward to extending you a warm welcome!

About Panama
As a meeting point in the history of the countries of Latin America, Panama is a country forged by various cultures and traditions that come together to create a unique complexity and exotic environment. The country's ethnic diversity is reflected in the traditional products, such as woodcarvings, ceremonial masks and pottery, as well as in its architecture, cuisine and festivals.
To visit Panama is to dazzle the senses, where Indigenous, Asiatic, Caribbean and European cultures combine to create a country unlike any other. Panama's architecture is a reflection of the different groups that make their home here.
The old city of Panama, known as Casco Viejo, is a World Heritage Site recognized by UNESCO in 1997. It is currently undergoing restoration, and is a place of great historical and architectural importance. Visitors to the site can see homes built at the beginning of the last century, narrow lanes with ancient ruins, beautiful colonial churches, the National Theater, the Church of San Jose (also known as the Church of the Golden Altar), that was saved from the greed of the pirates, and the ruins of the convent of Santo Domingo and its famous Flat Arch, which is over 300 years old.
Visa Support Documents
Any participant requiring an official letter of invitation to the conference, to support a visa application into Panama, is requested to contact the MARSIM 2009 Secretariat in order to receive assistance in obtaining such a document.
