TUGTECHNOLOGY '23

TUGTECHNOLOGY ’23 will take place in Rotterdam in May. The two-day conference, exhibition and awards alternates on a bi-annual basis with The International Tug & Salvage Conference, Exhibition & Awards, and has been the industry’s must-attend event - in odd rather than even years - since 2007.

Following a COVID-induced hiatus, TUGTECHNOLOGY last took place in October 2021 in London. The event drew hundreds of tug professionals from around the world and received plaudits for its outstanding presentations, networking and exhibition opportunities as well as the introduction of the inaugural ITS Awards. 

Rotterdam will host TUGTECHNOLOGY ’23. The conference programme will deliver vital insights and clarity on the technological changes and options available to industry as 2030 comes rapidly into the view. Emissions challenges; fuel options, fuel cell technology, hybrid approaches; batteries and autonomous vessels will be addressed and the latest innovation and design showcased. Our papers and the technologies discussed will be rooted in the industry’s commercial, operational, regulatory, technical and ESG context. Supply chain considerations and economics will be very much in focus.
