IMarEST’s two day conference on Ship Lay-Up will assess the economic arguments for hot or cold lay up, helping owners and ship operators to understand the benefits and disadvantages of both options, as well as looking at the alternatives.

Owners need to be aware that it is imperative that ships are laid up correctly otherwise they can experience problems on reactivation for the remainder of their working lives.

The conference will review and outline the overall major factors involved in ship lay-ups and thereby providing expert and critical guidance to assist owners. Delegates will also be presented with realistic and highly interactive case studies in order to help their understanding of the theories outlined.
