The arrangements have been fi- nalized for one of Canada's most important shipbuilding and offshore marine trade shows, the Canadian

Maritime Industries Association's 44th Annual Technical Conference, which will be held at the Ottawa

Congress Center and the Westin

Hotel, Ottawa, Ontario, February 17-18, 1992. "As a result of the resounding success of the Canadian Shipbuild- ing & Offshore Exhibition," said

CMIA president J.Y. Clarke, "we have decided to include CSOE '92 on the program for our 1992 confer- ence. This added feature has re- sulted in a tremendous interest in the conference, the largest technical marine conference held in Canada.

CSOE '92 will be a major component of the conference."

Mr. Clarke pointed out that the technical conference's open sessions, which begin at 9 a.m. on February 18, will be presented in adjacent rooms on the Capitol Hall level at the Ottawa Congress Center.

Double-hull ships, offshore tech- nology, high-speed craft, and the marine environment will be among some of the most noteworthy topics addressed by the conference's 15 technical papers and presentations.

During the "Shipbuilding and Re- pairing" session of the conference, for example, "Placing into an Arctic

Environment Context the Move To- wards Double Hulled Ships" will be presented by representatives from

Melville Shipping Ltd. At the same session, Ulstein Maritime will ad- dress its new high-speed craft de- sign in "SES Vessels," while

Jeumont-Schneider Industrie will present "Ships Electric Drive Ma- chinery and Pollution of Ships Elec- trical Network."

During the "Allied Industries" session, MIL Davie will present "To- tal Quality in the Maritime Envi- ronment," while Deutsch Metal Com- ponents will discuss "Mechanically

Attached Swage Fittings takes the

Head off Pipe Connecting."

CSOE '92 will be located in the

Congress Hall at the Ottawa Con- gress Center. Exhibitions such as

CSOE '92 help bring together all interested parties in the marine in- dustry. Some 120 booths are avail- able and it is expected that they will all be occupied.

Exhibition hours will be 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday, February 17, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. the following day.

Mr. Clarke noted that the 1991 technical conference and exhibition (CSOE '91) attracted well over 1,200 persons from across Canada and around the world, including inter- national media and government of- ficials.

Registration for the Annual Tech- nical Conference opens at 9 a.m. on

Monday, February 17, on the Con- gress Hall level of the Ottawa Con- gress Center. Registration for the conference entitles visitors to free admission to the exhibition.
