Be sure to join us for ITS TUGTECHNOLOGY Webinar Week
Green marine propulsion. Safety and stability. Data and digitalisation.
The ITS TUGTECHNOLOGY Webinar Week is taking place 29-31 March and will focus on green marine propulsion, safety and stability, data and digitalisation.
Brought to you by the publishers of the International Tug & Salvage magazine and the organisers of the ITS Convention & Exhibition and the TUGTECHNOLOGY Conference, our webinars are free-to-attend and provide sector updates directly to your desk with acclaimed panellists offering expert insight from around the globe.
Designed to strike the right balance between transmission of key information and interaction with the expert panel assembled, each webinar has been meticulously researched and organised in response to a daily towage or environmental challenge, headache or opportunity. Those who register will also receive copies of webinar materials post event.
Registration is free, please sign up below.
To guarantee a position on one of the webinar panels, as either a premium partner or sponsored presenter and panellist, please speak with Indrit Kruja. A number of positions are made available throughout our webinar weeks for our commercial partners on a first come, first served basis.
Please join us for any or all of the following:
How tug operators are preparing for a new era in green marine propulsionDate: Monday 29 March - Time: 13:30-14:15 BST |

This webinar will present what is required to deliver more powerful, stable, manoeuvrable, cost-effective and safe tugs. Our panel unites class, naval architects and operators in an open discussion examining the latest and pending rule requirements, the trade-offs that are made when balancing design, cost and compliance considerations, and how new thinking can inspire a new generation of future-proofed tugs.
Join us as we discuss
-
The 30-year lifecycle requirements of the next generation of tugs
-
Key design innovations for harbour and coastal towage
-
New class society notations and what is driving them
-
Market confidence: how tug operators can verify manoeuvrability, power, safety and stability claims
-
Designing seafarer-centric tugs

Smart tug operations: harnessing data and digitalisationDate: Wednesday 31 March - Time: 13:00-13:45 BST |
Data flows and digitalisation have significant potential for every link in the tug industry: owners and operators; ports and harbours; yards and the supply chain. Unlocking the potential requires an ability to understand and apply data flows and digitalisation technologies. The benefits of getting it right range from remote monitoring, improved vessel performance and voyage optimisation, resource planning, environmental and regulatory compliance and enhanced support for seafarers. This webinar will take a case-study approach to the options available.
Join us as we discuss
-
The challenges tugs and ports face in implementing digitalisation
-
Case study: quality data for tug and towage applications
-
Case study: lessons learned from the harbour and port sectors
-
Case study: data-driven insights that will benefit those on board
Panellists:
Jeremy Hartings, Services Delivery Manager, Caterpillar
Rick Broersma, Founder / MD, LionRock Maritime
Patrick Everts, General Manager, OptiPort
Eduardo Valença, Commercial Manager, Wilson Sons
