ETA meeting set
The European Tugowners’ Association (ETA) 46th Annual Meeting is to be held in Lisbon in May of next year. The meeting, scheduled for 13-15 May, is to be hosted by the Svitzer Group.
The shipyard has produced a large number of tugs of this type, based on a very successful design from Robert Allan Ltd. Over the years the original design has been refined in the light of experience gained locally and through other operators also using vessels built by Irving. In this instance the tugs are required to meet the requirements of Lloyds Register Ice Class 1A FS for operation in Scandinavian waters.
Also worthy of note, the ETA Secretariat has moved to a new location, which is: Boulevard de la Woluwelan 60, B-1200 Brussels, Belgium. Tel: +32 2 240 1520.
