The 15th International LNG/LPG Conference & Exhibition

Paris, France, February 16-19 W

With the increased pace of LNG project devel- opments around the world, there are fore- casts for the potential need for hun- dreds of LNG carrier newbuildings over the next decade, a fact which makes the upcoming Gastech '93 all the more important.

Gastech '93, the 15th Interna- tional LNG/LPG Conference & Ex- hibition, is scheduled for February 16-19 in Paris. More than 2,000 attendees, gas executives repre- senting every area of marine an land-based liquefied gas opera- tions, are expected at the show.

According to show organizers, with the pace of LNG projects in

Europe, the Middle East, South

America and the Asia/Pacific re- gion, there are forecasts of a re- quirement for six 125,000-cubic meter LNG carrier newbuildings a year for the next 10 years, and substantial increases in Japanese

LNG import levels alone may re- quire 50 to 60 new ships. All of this, should it come through, is a bright light indeed for shipbuild- ers and suppliers around the world.

The exhibition will be held at

Gastech '93 will be held at CNIT-La Defense, in Paris. the new Center for New Industries and Technologies (CNIT) and fea- ture companies displaying a wide variety of products and services, from countries across the globe (See
