In just over a week more than a hundred lifting and rigging experts from marine related contractors, suppliers, academia, associations and related industry bodies, will gather in Amsterdam for the 11th International Marine Contractors Lifting & Rigging Seminar with its theme ‘Lifting Technology and Lifting in Offshore Renewables’.

“People are definitely looking forward to getting back to meeting face-to-face,” said IMCA’s Marine & Quality Manager, Mark Ford. “Our delegates play a key role, for in addition to presentations, and panel discussions, the day includes workshops that help to formulate the work programme for IMCA’s Lifting and Rigging committee. Indeed, it is fair to say that outputs from this event will influence and shape this area of our industry.”
Mark Ford added:
“Networking always forms an important part of IMCA events around the globe and we are grateful to our sponsors for supporting this event – thank you to the Crosby Group Franklin Offshore, Safelift, OceanMax and WindMax.”.
