The Annual Offshore Support Journal Conference

The Annual Offshore Support Journal Conference is the international meeting point for all those involved in offshore support.
The 2011 conference, the 5th annual event, attracted over 320 senior industry executives including 60 shipowner and 35
shipyard representatives.

'The Annual Offshore Support Journal Conference is for me a fixed event in our annual planning calendar' 
Haydn Jones, Fugro Seastar

'A well organised and worthwhile event. The only conference I pay for annually'  Mike Meade, M3 Marine

Uniquely the conference brings together all stakeholders – oil majors, shipowners, shipbuilders, financiers,
designers, equipment manufacturers, suppliers, OEMs, Class and industry associations – in order to gather intelligence,
network with other industry leaders, and get practical answers to the key issues impacting the industry today.

To support the development of its events, Riviera engages industry expert panels which act as a sounding board for ideas.
Working closely with the industry in this way has been a key source of the event’s continued growth and success. For details
on the advisory panel click here.

The two day Annual Offshore Support Journal Conference features a mix of commercial and operational sessions
concentrating on the sectors present and the future priorities and unites all of the key industry stakeholders, from all over the
world. Following a successful introduction in 2011, day one will feature “parallel streams” with sessions covering the latest
technologies and innovations in the field and financial and commercial topics.

NEW DEVELOPMENTS FOR 2012

This year's Annual Offshore Support Journal Awards will be expanded to incorporate two new awards which will recognise achievements
reflecting key OSV industry drivers - the Environmental Award and the Offshore Renewables Award.

Session descriptions

Session one: OSV markets and commercial

From a focus on the market drivers impacting day rates to the growth of cabotage regimes, this session will provide a vital
insight into the OSV market and where it is going in the next two to three years. 

Session two: stream A – OSV strategy and finance

Debate continues on how to finance OSV projects but more prominent in 2012 is not only how to secure capital but how to
control costs and consolidate. This session will look at this renewed business focus and discuss how it is affecting the
market. 

Session two: stream B – OSV regional developments

This session will look at emerging markets and new regional developments and how as a market we can avoid fragmentation
and ensure regional alignment for optimal OSV operations. 

Session three: stream C – exploring the legal, contractual and regulatory landscape for the OSV market

It is clear that there needs to be a renewed focus and understanding surrounding contracts in order to offset risk and liability
throughout OSV projects. This session will establish how as an industry we can achieve this. 

Session three: stream D – technical and operational developments in the OSV market

Continual developments to OSVs make for an exciting marketplace. During this session you will gain an insight into some of
the latest developments occurring in the industry today. 

Session four: Brazil focus session

Establishing operations in Brazil is not the only challenge; once established, companies need to be able to operate effectively.
This session will provide an ‘eyes-wide open’ critique on establishing operations and effectively maintaining them in this
region. 

Session five: OSV design and equipment

Have we entered a phase of innovation for innovation’s sake? This session will address controversial issues and debate the
reality of new designs and technology. What is the truth behind it and how is it affecting the financial stability of the
industry? 

Session six: OSV management

t is critical that we safeguard our industry from the impact of growing costs whilst maintaining fit-for-purpose vessels. This
session will look at the growing divide between man and machine and consider whether increasingly complex ships are
hindering not only our commercial viability but our safety and security as well. 

Session seven: OSV operations

Increasing costs and complexity have resulted in the OSV market facing more and more operational challenges. This session
will look at what these growing challenges are, how they affect those working within the industry and ultimately how they
affect the ability of the industry as a whole.
 
Speakers  
The sessions are chaired by respected industry figures, selected for their subject specific knowledge and recognised industry
standing. Presentations are generally kept to 20 minutes and the timetable provides for questions and answers to flow
