SHANGHAI, Sept. 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The value of corrosion engineering in the maritime industries cannot be overstated. In the extreme service conditions of marine environments we can raise life expectancy and extend structural life beyond original design parameters. In order to do this, we need to align best business practices with today's advanced corrosion engineering to make the best value decisions in infrastructure acquisition and life management. These principles apply equally to military and civilian fleets, as well as offshore oil and gas and wind/wave energy industries.

Maritime Corrosion Protection and Integrity 2013, supported by Marintec China will be held on 24-25 Oct in Shanghai.

The conference will be a two-day gathering of leading experts with premium networking opportunities and a source for the latest information concerning corrosion and its mitigation and a unique forum for presenting practical solutions and debating the future direction of the pipeline, marine and coatings industries.
