SLOM 2026 will bring together oil terminal operators, specialists, and suppliers of goods and services in Cartagena de Indias from October 14-16. The 22nd edition aims to strengthen sector integration through shared experiences and knowledge.
The event focuses on bringing together colleagues from the region: discussing challenges, consulting specialists, and establishing contacts to help resolve questions related to terminal operations.
The invitation highlights an opportunity for operators: to meet with professionals from other terminals and leverage that contact to exchange knowledge. The event aims to share experiences that can be useful in addressing the challenges of each installation.
During the event, attendees will also be able to talk directly with specialists. The organization encourages them to take advantage of the meeting to ask questions and build professional relationships related to the needs of the sector.
The proposal thus connects two interests: sharing lessons learned during the operation and finding interlocutors capable of contributing knowledge. The meeting of colleagues is one of the central themes of the call for participation in Cartagena. Latin American society
SLOM is an international non-profit association that integrates marine oil, chemical and gas terminals with organizations, authorities and companies in the sector, to promote safe, sustainable and efficient operations through cooperation and knowledge sharing.
Its activities include spaces for sharing best practices among operators, promoting standardization, and raising awareness about maritime safety. The integration it proposes is not limited to bringing companies together; its aim is to support improved operating conditions.
Since 2005, the association has organized the annual Conference for Operators of Maritime Oil Terminals and Monobuoys. Its objective is to contribute to making the sector's ports safer, more efficient, cleaner, and more competitive.
The relationship with suppliers of goods and services also features prominently in the SLOM 2026 invitation. The message acknowledges their technological support and the new developments they bring to operators.
The conference provides a forum to present and discuss innovations, specialized solutions, products, and services aimed at the maritime, port, and oil sectors. This dimension complements the exchange of experiences among facility managers.
For those working with offshore oil terminals and single-point mooring buoys, the event aims to bring together colleagues, specialists, and suppliers. The goal is to facilitate discussions and technical networking that can help address their concerns.
The association's work includes the International Workshop on Lessons Learned in the Operation of Marine Oil Terminals. This activity is complemented by virtual workshops and in-person courses on terminals and single-point mooring buoys.
The institutional presentation also notes that SLOM offers support, advice, and technical consultation through its group of experts. These activities expand learning and collaboration opportunities beyond the annual meeting.
