SLOM 2026: Conference for Operators of Maritime Oil Terminals and Monobuoys
The XXII Jornada de Operadores de Terminales Marítimo Petroleros y Monoboyas (SLOM 2026) is preparing to land again in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia. This event is not just a conference; it is the most relevant annual technical summit in Latin America dedicated exclusively to the transfer of technology and best practices in the ship-to-shore interface.
Under the theme “Integrated We Can Do More”, SLOM 2026 will bring together the elite community of engineers, captains, terminal managers and port authorities to discuss the future of hydrocarbon logistics in the region.
Why is it vital to attend SLOM 2026? In an environment where operational safety and sustainability are non-negotiable, this conference offers tangible solutions. Unlike generalist Oil & Gas exhibitions, SLOM delves into the niche challenges faced by port operators on a daily basis.
Thematic and Technical Axes:
- Monobuoy Operation and Maintenance (SPM/CBM): Advanced strategies for extending the life of floating and subsea hoses, chains and anchoring systems.
- Ship-to-Shore Interface Management: In-depth analysis of international standards (ISGOTT, OCIMF, SIGTTO) and their practical application in Latin American terminals.
- Asset Integrity and Inspection: New technologies in Non Destructive Testing (NDT), underwater robotic inspection and corrosion management in piles and marine structures.
- Spill Prevention and Response: Updated protocols for oil containment and environmental crisis management in port areas.
- Energy Transition in Ports: The impact of new marine fuels and decarbonization on terminal operations.
Attendee Profile: This event is mandatory for Marine Operations Managers, Maintenance Superintendents, HSEQ Chiefs, Cargo Inspectors, Maritime Authorities and specialized service providers (tugboats, diving, pilots).
High Value Networking: The “SLOM Experience” is famous for its technical camaraderie. Connect directly with decision makers from the main state-owned operators (Ecopetrol, Petrobras, PEMEX, PDVSA, ENAP) and private companies that move the continent’s energy.
Key Details:
- Edition: XXII International Conference.
- Location: Cartagena de Indias, Colombia (Logistics epicenter of the Caribbean).
- Focus: Operational Excellence, Maritime Process Safety (PSM) and Port Technology.
