In this session, delegates will hear a brief explanation how airbags are deployed effectively in salvage operations including the advantages, challenges and limitations. Martin and Borja will use a case study to illustrate various elements of the session: Refloating and towage of the FV Santa Ana and FV Serenin with airbags. The case study will look at the similarities and differences, the similarity of the vessels, why they both sunk in the same area 10 years apart and why two different Ardentia teams used the same methodology.

In an exciting first for Seatrade Maritime Salvage & Wreck, the audience will be transported into the world of parliamentary-style debate. The motion: “This house believes LOF has run it's course”
The audience, naturally divided on opinion, will hear from a series of speakers who will try to convince them that they should be for or against the motion. There will be three speakers on each side of the argument, each with a strict seven-minute window to convince the audience. At the end, the audience will vote to see which side of the argument has the majority.
