The Joint Branch of the RINA and the IMarEST (Singapore) along with CORE and NUMI-Singapore will continue its OSV series of International Conferences in its 4th time. There is a good demand for providing a wide range of support services such as towage, anchor handling, supply, fire fighting, ROV operation, diving support, well stimulation & intervention, pollution control measures, load out, transportation and installation activities, offshore wind farm installation and maintenance operations, and logistics support for offshore oil and gas industry. These growths in both size & complexity fuelled by new emerging technology continuously bring new challenges for innovative solutions.
A 2-day event comprising of technical papers’ presentations and an experts’ panel discussion, the conference will provide a platform for ship designers, shipbuilders, owners & operators, drilling contractors, installation contractors to present and discuss future needs and challenges, as the search for hydrocarbons moves into deeper waters. The conference will consider a wide range of vessel types including anchor handling tug/supply vessels, offshore supply vessels, multipurpose support/supply vessels, diving support vessels, multipurpose construction vessels, pipe laying vessels, accommodation barges, crew boats, large crane vessels, etc.
