Mini-Forum on Ship Repair in Yalova

We are pleased to announce that Kalimbassieris Maritime will be hosting a Mini-Forum on Ship Repair in Turkey.  

The Mini-Forum will be held from 22–24 May and is addressed to selected H&M insurance claims executives and brokers from the major international markets.  It is an excellent opportunity for professionals to obtain first-hand experience of repair yards and their practices, ways of managing the repair process and controlling of claims.

The programme includes a tour of two major yards where participants will be shown around the facilities, have an opportunity to meet with key yard personnel and see damage repairs up close.  Staff from our Istanbul and Piraeus offices will provide background information in respect of the yards and discuss technical matters related to repairs and managing the repair process.  The programme also includes a close look up on ship repair in Turkey followed by a round table discussion. The programme concludes with a visit to Istanbul Vessel Traffic System (VTS).

The only costs are hotel accommodation and flights

If interested, please contact s.akkaya@kalimbassieris.com for a registration Form.
