Maintenance Conference

ACI’s 11th Optimising Vessel Maintenance Conference takes place in London from 28-29th January 2015, and promises to discuss the latest technical and maintenance management updates in the maritime industry for 2015 and beyond.

With the advancement of technologies in vessel maintenance, ship owners are looking to reduce operational cost while improving profitability and reliability across the fleet by utilising these latest technologies. While the questions may still remain over initial investments in Condition Monitoring technology, the conference will address how to maximise the return on investment in CM/CBM but also consider a variety of other solutions, such as alternative technologies, innovative maintenance management plans and optimising current established maintenance programmes.

The two day conference will address the pivotal concerns and solutions for ship owners, including how to implement latest technologies into existing maintenance management plans, looking at critical assets across the fleet that require effective maintenance plans, increasing asset lifecycle management in ship structure, while also looking at classification perspectives on the latest technology in the market.

The event is aimed at shipping companies’ Technical and Operational Directors or Managers, Fleet Managers or Vessel Managers, Procurement Managers, Chief Engineers, Marine or Technical Superintendents, and Maintenance Directors or Managers.

Additionally booked to attend are representatives from Classification Societies, O.E.M (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and Maintenance Consultants.
