A New Chapter: The 29th International Offshore Crane and Lifting Conference Comes to Amsterdam

In 2026, this tradition of excellence reaches an exciting new milestone: the conference will be held in Amsterdam for the first time, breaking with its historic rotation between Stavanger and Aberdeen and bringing this vital industry gathering to the heart of Europe’s dynamic maritime and offshore hub.

We’re excited to be part of the 29th International Offshore Crane & Lifting Conference! For nearly three decades, this conference has been an important meeting place for experts and professionals working with offshore cranes and lifting operations, bringing the industry together to share knowledge, experiences, and new technology.

This year marks a new chapter as the conference moves from Aberdeen to Amsterdam, where the global offshore lifting community will gather on 14-15 April 2026.

The International Offshore Crane and Lifting Conference has, for 28 years, distinguished itself as a forum that goes beyond promotional talks. The conference offers case studies, peer-to-peer learning and substantive technical discussion rather than sales pitches.

This combination of technical rigour, industry relevance and networking opportunity has made it an essential event for professionals involved in crane and lifting operations across oil & gas, offshore wind, subsea and heavy installation sectors.

At Quality Norway, we’re proud to contribute to this long-standing industry event and we look forward to insightful discussions, valuable connections, and two inspiring days with colleagues from across the world.

See you in Amsterdam!
