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 the first time ever, there will be a major U.S. presence at the Ship Repair & Conversion '93 show.
