Beyond the numbers: experts to examine key APAC offshore energy market drivers

Session 3 will look at floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) and subsea market opportunities, as well as the latest in crewboat design.

The day will close with Session 4, which looks at the future fuel landscape and electrification. This will include a look at Hydromover, Singapore’s first all-electric cargo vessel.

On 18 September, the day will kick off with a panel discussion, Addressing the challenges and opportunities in a booming market: the view from the energy community.

Session 5 will have regional updates on Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan and Thailand exploring rig, OSV and subsea vessel demand. Leading experts will assess key regional E&P activity, opportunities in deepwater, renewables and decommissioning and provide insights into the opportunities for vessel owners.

Session 6, New vessel designs and technologies for next-generation OSVs, offers a closer look at battery and hybrid propulsion and digitalisation to reduce fuel consumption, lower CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions and empower the vessel’s captain and crew.

Offshore windfarm development will come into focus in Session 7, highlighting growth opportunities in South Korea, Vietnam, Japan, Vietnam and Australia, with forecasts looking at vessel demand prospects for the next 12 months.

The resurgent offshore oil and gas sector, combined with ambitious national plans for investments in renewables, has created a surging demand for skilled mariners. This will be explored in detail during Session 8. How will the industry attract, train and retain the next generation of seafarers, and upskill the existing mariners for the energy transition?

The intensive two-day programme will be capped off with Session 9, an Industry Leaders Panel. The powerhouse panel will include Britoil Offshore Service chief executive Florent Kirchhoff (OSJ’s Industry Leader Award winner for 2024), Tidewater, Asia Pacific managing director Joanne Ang, MMA Offshore managing director David Ross and Wootz Global managing director Vivek Khabya. Panellists will discuss some of their biggest challenges in the current up cycle and provide their outlook for the offshore energy market for the next 12 months.

Singapore: the perfect backdrop

As one of the world’s leading maritime cities, Singapore provides the perfect backdrop for the two-day event. The Lion City is at the centre of shipping’s energy transition, supporting the uptake of new low- and zero-carbon fuels through funding, research, pilot projects and other initiatives. Additionally, it is home to southeast Asia’s largest OSV owners, and a major hub for shipmanagers, crew changes, bunkering, ship chandlers, shipbuilding, and other marine services.
