The International WorkBoat Show 13,000 To Attend 16th Annual International WorkBoat Show; November 3-5, New Orleans

Thirteen thousand workboat pro- fessionals are expected at this year's

International WorkBoat Show. Ac- cording to Steve McDonough,

WorkBoat '94's sales manager, "Without a doubt, New Orleans is the place to be in November for anyone involved in the commercial marine industry. Whether looking to build, buy, service or supply, visi- tors to WorkBoat '94 will find what they need. Everything pertaining to the workboat industry will be on display, from electronics and en- gines to winches and propellers."

Mr. McDonough contends that the broad diversity of commercial ma- rine market segments represented by the show's visitors and exhibi- tors is a key factor in the show's growth.

Workboat and marine trade pro- fessionals will gather for the

WorkBoat Show at the Ernest N.

Morial Convention Center in New

Orleans, La. Since its inception in 1978, the show has attracted more than 150,000 commercial marine professionals looking to buy, sell, sample and compare the latest in equipment and services, keep up with industry trends, make new contacts and re-establish old ones.

The 1994 edition of The Interna- tional WorkBoat Show promises to live up to its reputation as "North

America's Premier Workboat Trade

Show."

More than 400 companies from across the U.S. and around the world will showcase their wares in more than 850 booths at the show. Pro- fessionals involved in the construc- tion, maintenance, and operation of tugboats, barges, ferries and workboats, and in related indus- tries and services, will find the show an invaluable resource.

This year's seminar program in- cludes sessions on the latest devel- opments in electronic navigation (Electronic Navigation: Inside

ECDIS and ECS), the ramifications of Title XI on loan guarantees for new vessel construction (The New

Title XI: Blessing or Curse?), and the pros and cons of vessel conver- sion (Conversions: Better Than

Building?).
