The 38th annual seminar of the Greater News Orleans Barge Fleeting Association-which one public relations executive calls "the Super Bowl of marine insurance"-was held live April 26-29 in New Orleans, after a two-year hiatus due to restrictions from the CO-VID-19 virus. This year's seminar offered a new feature, a mock trial of an aspect of a maritime law scenario.The long-awaited event had been held annually since its founding in 1982 by maritime attorney Maurice Hebert Jr. and a group of friends and associates. It's not just for marine insurers. The GNOBFA seminar has long been one of the most respected maritime events, where inland barge and vessel owners and operators, brokers, insurers, maritime attorneys and other inland marine professionals educate, and learn from, their colleagues.The GNOBFA seminar was held at the Intercontinental Hotel in downtown New Orleans, the same location where it has been held since it moved out of a smaller venue after its founding by Hebert and seven others 41 years ago. |
