Trelleborg Plans Port Performance Seminar in Brazil

Trelleborg’s marine systems operation has announced plans to host a one-day seminar for port consultants on November 11 at the Windsor Excelsior Hotel in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Designed to provide consultants with everything they need to know about the latest developments in port and terminal infrastructure, the free to attend seminar will see the experts at Trelleborg discuss a range of key industry issues including PIANC marine fender best practice, Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF) guidelines for docking and mooring systems, as well as rubber and foam marine fender and foam buoy design. In addition, Mishra Kumar will discuss the importance of ingredient selection, mixing and the manufacturing process in marine fenders. 

Richard Hepworth, President of Trelleborg’s marine operation, said, “At a time of economic recovery across much of the Latin America market, the seminar provides the ideal platform for us to connect with consultants to discuss the importance of specifying quality and how they can intelligently steer port owners and operators away from cutting costs up front. This will enable them to reap the benefits of investing in solutions that guarantee quality over a whole lifecycle.”
