The Norwegian Society of Lifting Technology(NSLT) together with the Offshore MechanicalHandling Equipment Committee (OMHEC)are again proud to announce this year’s NorthSea Offshore Cranes & Lifting Conference.

The conference alternates between the “oil capitals” ofNorway and Scotland - Stavanger and Aberdeen - theseare the most important places of business for the NorthSea oil and gas industry and home for regulators, the major duty holders, oil and gas contractors, service companies etc. During the conference, the participants will have a chance to meet and share their experiences with North Sea offshore petroleum regulators, experts and industry leaders from the offshore crane and lifting operations community.

The conference has the goal to cover a wide range of new topics in offshore cranes and lifting technology, subsea and heavy lifting, crane standardisation and regulatory and industry safety initiatives. Participants will have ample opportunity to enter into discussions with the speakers and spend time interacting with companies demonstrating their goods and services in the Crane Expo area.

Why you need to attend “The 20th NSOCLC in Stavanger, 21st - 23rd April 2015”

You’ll get the most up-to-date information in the offshore crane and lifting business industry, as well as answers to all of your crane and lifting questions. Additionally, world renowned crane business leaders, endusers, consultants, petroleum regulators and vendors will all be gathered, solely for the purposes of learning, exchanging information, networking, see and try new technology and developing long lasting business relationships in order to contribute to enhance safety and improve business.

What sets this conference apart from the rest?

The 20th North Sea Offshore Cranes and Lifting Conference is the only conference with a complete focus on the offshore crane & lifting business in the North Sea and beyond.The conference is not a series of sales orientated pitches but a dynamic gathering of like-minded people involved in the offshore lifting industry. Our unique blend of presentations, case studies and exhibitions provides you with an unique opportunity to walk away from the summit with all of the critical information you need to get the most out of your daily lifting operational tasks. This conference gives the lifting community the platform that it truly deserves as it provides many hours of dedicated networking time for you to talk openly with your peers, suppliers and customers and the opportunity to conduct business face-to-face.
