Ship Repair & Maintenance
Ship Repair & Maintenance is a window into vessel lifecycle management, focusing on the latest technical advancements, regulatory requirements, and best practices in maintenance and repair operations.
Topics such as condition-based and predictive maintenance, hull integrity, corrosion control and propulsion system overhauls will be explored, in addition to the application of digital tools in maintenance diagnostics and planning. Ship Repair & Maintenance will also follow market trends and the distribution of work across the world.
