Ship Repair & Conversion '93

Following the success of last year's ship maintenance conference ex- hibit, Ship Repair & Conversion '93 returns to Olympia 2 London, En- gland, November 9-10, 1993.

Ship Repair & Conversion '93 is the major international meeting dedicated to the shiprepair, conver- sion and maintenance industry.

More than 79 shiprepair yards are expected to attend this year's con- ference. The main message from previous conferences was that the industry has yet to experience the resulting increase in trade as gov- ernments and international regula- tory bodies strive to make the world's fleets safer and better maintained.

This will inevitably add to the core business the shiprepair industry presently receives from an ever-ag- ing global merchant fleet. For more information, contact: John Gwynn-

Jones, Director, BML Business

Meetings Limited, 2 Station Road,

Rickmansworth, Herts WD3 1QP,

England, tel: +44 923 776363; fax: +44 923 777206.
