ITS 2008 Singapore May 19, 2008

The world's biggest gathering of tug, towage and salvage experts. Few maritime events have as long a history of success and innovation as the ITS Convention. Started in 1969, the series has moved around the world and grown in strength. Crucially, it has remained fresh and innovative by advancing with the industry it supports whilst building on a foundation of a tradition that has proved so popular.
The event, which takes place from 19th-23rd May 2008, is set to be the biggest in its 39-year history, and for the first time ever will focus the attention of some of the most eminent figures in the marine industry on what many feel is the most important topic of the age – the environment, and the industry's impact upon it.
For 2008, an anticipated 400 delegates and more than 100 exhibitors from all around the world will gather to talk tugs, towing and salvage – and listen to 25 papers by leading figures in the field.
All the papers have now been selected and will include such topics as salvage law, insurance matters, wreck removal, ocean and harbour towage operations and tug and equipment design.
