With visitors from over sixty different countries and a track record of steady growth since its foundation in 2008, Offshore Energy is a must attend event for all professionals in the international offshore sector.
Offshore Energy takes place 28 & 29 October 2014 in the Amsterdam Rai and brings together Dutch industry giants as well as a host of international parties. The organisation expects to attract over 10,000 visitors from around the world (9123 in 2013). Over 500 supply chain companies will showcase their products and services. Companies such as Van Oord, Damen, Keppel Verolme, Boskalis, Ulstein, Heerema Group and IHC have already booked their stand.
Key Offshore Topics
The conference programme, with this years’ cross-cutting theme “the future is in the water”, offers a platform for discussing key topics and solutions for the offshore community. Speakers represent operators, OEM’s, EPC companies, suppliers, service providers and investors.
Addressing the Topical Gap in Offshore Rules and Regulations
On the non-technical side, the conference addresses a topical gap in rules and regulations for offshore service vessels. At the moment, there are no clear, practical rules for offshore service vessels carrying more than twelve passengers. In particular, the definition of people who are neither crew nor passengers poses a challenge.
Offshore Energy will discuss how national governments are trying to define “industrial personnel” and how regulations are being developed within IMO. This session neatly links with the recurring session about new offshore vessels which presents latest in offshore ship concepts, design and construction.
Offshore Wind
The co-located Offshore WIND Installation and Maintenance Conference addresses the technical, operational, commercial and managerial challenges associated with future industry growth. It offers a comprehensive overview of wind farm developments, cost reducing innovations and education and employment initiatives.
