Participants We see a lot of activity around FLACS in the Chinese market. I am very impressed by the expertise on FLACS applications that Chinese companies have acquired in a relatively short time. Erik Aadland

Technical Tour Some of the international delegates visited the Waigaoqiao Shipyard owned by SWS and were impressed by the advanced technology applied in Chinese shipyards. Founded in 1999, SWS is a wholly owned subsidiary of China CSSC Holding Ltd., a publicly listed company controlled by China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC). The main business of SWS covers design, construction and repair of marine vessels and offshore products. In the offshore sector, the Company s production line covers FPSO, deep water semi-submersible drilling rigs, Jack-ups, drill ships, PSV, OSV, VLGC and mini LNG. SWS became the first shipyard in China with an annual delivery over 8 million DWT (36 vessels in total), and hence known as the Number One Shipbuilding Company in China.

The 6th World Conference on Safety of Oil and Gas Industry- FLACS Breakout Session The 6th World Conference on Safety of Oil and Gas Industry (WCOGI 2016) will be held in China University of Petroleum, Beijing, China in Oct. 26-29, 2016. The objective of the conference is to provide a global forum for researchers, educators, engineers, and government officials to present and discuss recent applications and experience of FLACS in the safety of oil and gas industry. The conference will cover the safety of oil and gas production in land and ocean, including exploration-exploitation, transportation-storage, refinery and utilization. Gexcon will host the similar conference every year in the future to provide a international communication forum. Welcome the FLACS users all over the world to participate the conference!

Thank you!
