As the offshore industry expands into deeper water, modular techniques are developing rapidly. With this development comes the need to ensure the safety and reliability of these assets, and ABS Group is at the forefront of providing valuable insight and services to this market.

As a long-standing leader in the industry, ABS Group identified the upcoming Offshore Modular Construction Conference as an excellent event to bring key industry players together to discuss and debate the issues facing the market.
