Over the past 12 months, the subsea sector has benefited from new exploration in South America, the Gulf of Mexico, emerging plays offshore Namibia and the eastern Mediterranean. New oil and gas exploration licences have been awarded in Norway and the UK leading to a surge in opportunities for OSV owners, particularly those active in the subsea construction, installation, well intervention and IMR sectors.

OSJ Subsea will keep you up-to-date with industry developments and key trends and drivers across the sector. It is an opportunity to find out where new opportunities lie and get to grips with subsea technology advances influencing the design and capabilities of next-generation vessels.

The one-day conference will update you on:

Key trends, market data and industry developments
Regional opportunities for subsea vessels
Latest developments and opportunities for dive support vessels
Industry advances in ROV and AUV technologies for subsea operation
Innovations in green offshore subsea vessels
What opportunities do the renewables and decommissioning markets present?
Innovations in hybrid subsea vessels
Future fuels for next-generation subsea vessels

Who attends:

The OSJ Subsea Conference is attended by leading organisations from across the offshore supply chain. Attendees included:

Vessel owners, operators and managers
Classification societies
Brokers, charterers and analysts
Vessel designers and builders
Shipyards
Industry bodies and associations
Senior representatives of leading technology companies

The OSJ Subsea conference precedes Riviera Maritime Media’s Annual Offshore Support Journal Conference, Exhibition and Awards, which takes place on 7-8 February 2024. Details for this event can be viewed here.
