The continuing endorsement of the International Salvage Union reflects the importance of this annual event for all salvage and associated industry professionals and is sure to promote lively discussion of topical issues. We are delighted that Arnold Witte, President of the ISU will make the opening address to be followed by the thought provoking Andreas Tsavliris. The conference will:

* Examine the Special Casualty Representative system
* Debate how salvage should be paid for

In addition a number of the ever popular case studies illustrating recent testing salvage operations will complement a session on technical and environmental challenges. On behalf of our Chairmen Ben Browne and Archie Bishop, I look forward to welcoming you at this year’s salvage events.
