The International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA), which represents more than 1,000 engineering businesses worldwide, has appointed a new president.
Bruno Faure, group senior vice president subsea projects and operations at Technip, takes over the role of president of the association representing the interests of marine and underwater engineering companies in more than 60 countries. He also becomes chairman of the association’s Overall Management Committee (OMC).
Leon Harland, executive vice president of commercial and technology at Heerema Marine Contractors, has taken over as IMCA vice president.
Faure said: “At a time when our industry is experiencing challenging times, I am convinced that IMCA can, more than ever, play a key role in facilitating the necessary constructive dialogue among clients, contractors and the supply chain, with the aim of offering to the industry the most appropriate solutions in the context of economic pressure.”
Faure joined Technip in July 2014 and has 30 years in the oil and gas industry.
