Final preparations underway for World Crane and Transport Summit

Final preparations are underway for the seventh World Crane and Transport Summit (WCTS) in Amsterdam on 13 and 14 November.

Highlights in the programme include keynote presentations by Fabio Belli, CEO of Fagioli, and Erich Sennebogen, managing director of Sennebogen Maschinenfabrik.

Belli will give delegates a detailed view of business trends in the oil and gas sector and the impact on heavy lift and transport companies.

In other presentations engineers from the Hinkley Point C nuclear power project in the UK will report on lifting procedures being used on the site, where Saren’s massive SGC 250 crane is operating.

The key topic of safety will be addressed by speakers including Peter Gibbs, COO of Ainscough Crane Hire, and Blanca Claeyssens of ASA France, while crane operator training will be discussed by Philip Grootenboer of Mammoet and ESTA director Ton Klijn.

Online booking for the event is available at www.khl-wcts.com and the same site gives access to registration at the host hotel, the Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky.
