European Dynamic Positioning Conference
24 March 2021
09:00 - 13:00
GMT
Technology and best practice progression in DP at a time of instability
Following a hugely successful webinar week series and the launch of our virtual conferences in 2020, Riviera’s conference programme remains online in 2021 allowing our global communities to continue to connect, network and gather knowledge whilst remaining safe until our live conference programme returns. Networking is a key element of our virtual conferences with ample opportunity to arrange your meetings, keep on top of your daily routine, and still have some personal time.
Planning is underway in earnest for what promises to be a sensational live Annual Offshore Support Journal Conference, Exhibition & Awards in mid-November 2021. We are excited to have the opportunity to once again bring the offshore community together, and we are grateful for the continuing support of our loyal sponsors.
As a lead in to OSJ 2021 Week, we have planned three days of virtual conferences, 23-25 March, to provide insight and analysis for the Dynamic Positioning, Subsea, Offshore Wind and OSV sectors.
Dynamic Positioning technology is constantly evolving through innovative solutions, new developments and market trends and drivers. Alternative offshore sectors are creating new opportunities for DP vessel utilisation. The European Dynamic Positioning conference will assess today’s market, opportunities from the offshore wind sector and what this means for DP vessels, use of battery hybrid systems and remote tests and trials and the latest technologies impacting DP.
