Tugnology ’13 comes alongside in London

The two day technical conference already has over 250 registered delegates some two months ahead of the event and the organiser, The ABR Company, is anticipating another record breaking turn-out.

Tugnology will focus on the design, construction, operation and economics of tugs. A great deal of thought has been given to the topics covered in this year’s papers, sponsored by Uzmar, and emphasis has been placed on the key issues currently affecting the tug industry, including cost control (looking, for example, at remote monitoring, and training); emissions and fuel consumption; the latest research into tug stability and safety; operational issues; steering; and rope developments.

The event, known for its networking opportunities, is a truly international gathering, this year bringing together delegates from countries across the globe, including Australia, Brazil, Singapore, Japan, Canada, USA, Germany and Sweden. Social events include the welcome cocktail reception, sponsored by JonRie InterTech LLC, and an evening dinner sponsored by Damen, with Samson sponsoring the drinks reception.
