The second day of the seminar started with crisis communication, Mr. Ivars Svil\u0101ns, who has a long experience working in the banking and retail businesses, held a good presentation about communication in crisis situations. After that each port partner told about their plans and \u00a0procedures, and the day ended with a discussion about possible problem areas with the communication between authorities.<\/p>\n
