OSJ's Subsea Conference returns to support the recent surge in offshore activity

With the recent surge in offshore activity across the globe, both in the traditional oil & gas markets as well as the wind sector, 2024 saw the return of OSJ’s Subsea Conference which brought together key players in the offshore and subsea vessels arena.

The comprehensive programme featured four insightful sessions on;

• Analysis of key trends, market data and the status of financing
• Emerging markets
• Developments in DSVs, ROV and AUV technologies
• Future fuels and decarbonisation: impact on the subsea vessel of the future

The programme reviewed the array of opportunities available to vessel owners, which sectors should be invested in, prospects in offshore wind and decommissioning as well as detailing the challenges of operating in a tightening market.

There is huge ambition around the world for offshore wind developments, presenting vessel owners with ample opportunities to utilise their assets in this space. Leading experts shared their views on opportunities in emerging markets in Europe and the Americas and how increased turbine sizes are driving new vessel concepts.

The energy transition is seeing innovative vessel designs powered by hybrid and low carbon fuels coming to market and there is increased interest in autonomous and remote marine operations.

One of the key takeaways from the OSJ Subsea Conference is that oil and gas is not going away, and opportunities will continue for years to come!

OSJ’s Subsea Conference will return to London in February 2025.
