The world’s premier biennial gathering of the tug, towage and salvage community since 1969.

The conference programme and exhibition cover all elements required for safe, sustainable, and commercially successful operations. A truly international event, it is held every two years in a different, leading maritime hub. Since 1969, over 9,000 delegates and 1,250 exhibitors from more than 70 countries have taken part.

The conference programme is known for its range and depth and renowned for networking, discussing, debating and analysing the latest tug, towage and salvage commercial, operational, regulatory and technical advances. Competition to present is intense. Papers are thoroughly vetted to preserve standards and ensure that only the relevant and original make it through. The exhibition is a valued showcase and spans services, software, education, training and engineering.

The ITS Awards recognise outstanding vessels, operators, innovators and professionals that raise the bar for safety, sustainability and operational excellence. Winners are selected by Industry peers, making an ITS Award a meaningful achievement and testament to operational excellence.

Alongside our convention, exhibition and awards, is an outstanding partner and social programme which typically includes, but is not limited to, a golf tournament, tugboats demonstration, charity fun runs and cultural excursions.
