Thousands of UK and overseas delegates will be attending Europe’s largest subsea event in Aberdeen this week.
Subsea 2012 — on Wednesday and Thursday — will demonstrate how the subsea industry continues to be at the forefront of development in new frontiers.
Subsea UK’s annual conference and exhibition has attracted leading industry figures from all over the world.
Around 2,500 representatives from the UK, Norway, India, Malaysia, US, Russia, Ghana, Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, China and Vietnam are expected to attend.
The event, at Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre, has also attracted more than 125 exhibitors.
Dave Turner, vice-president of subsea production operations, global operations, BP, will kick off the conference, discussing this year’s key theme of reaching farther, going deeper and the challenges to the subsea business.
Neil Gordon, chief executive of Subsea UK, said: “This year’s conference continues the high standards we have set with industry-leading speakers who will share their expertise with delegates from across the subsea industry.
“Our aim is to ensure industry is well equipped to continue growing globally and lead the way in new frontiers.
“The sell-out exhibition and global attendance underlines the popularity and importance of this annual subsea event.”
Scottish Energy Minister Fergus Ewing will attend the event on Thursday.
In addition to the conference and exhibition, Subsea UK will host the annual subsea business awards dinner on Wednesday night at the AECC, which will be attended by more than 750 people.
