The shiprepair and conversion industries are undergoing various forms of re-organisation to face a challenging future, dependent upon freight rate levels obtained by the shipowning fraternity. Competition is tough and likely to get tougher. This year's conference will be examining a multitude of methods by which the performance of the industry can be improved.

Any and all information regarding methods whereby ship repair yards and shipowners can make repair and maintenance programmes more efficient and more effective are welcome. As well as papers by leading industry experts, the programme also includes two topical debates on key concerns within the industry itself. All conference delegates are encouraged to question the papers that are presented and join in the specific industry debates.

Don’t miss this the only recognised international event specifically designed for the market, and encompasses all aspects of repair, conversion, maintenance, refit and aftersales. ShipRepair and Conversion 2000 will be the focal meeting point for thousands of companies involved in the industry. Last year's event proved so successful, that Lloyd's List events have moved it to the larger Grand Hall, Olympia.
