Hotels flag despite Offshore Europe
A busy Offshore Europe event delivered “staggering” occupancy levels for Aberdeen hotels, but failed to reverse an ongoing decline due to the oil price crash, new figures show. In what is the first report on the Granite city’s hotel trade for the key month of September 2015, LJ Research found that room occupancy fell 12.8% despite reaching 99% capacity halfway through oil week. The report also found that hotel room yields in the month were down 13.8% on September 2013 – the last time Aberdeen hosted the biennial oil and gas event.
Offshore Europe 2015: Organisers hail second biggest attendance record

This compares to 2013 when crowds hit a record 63,000. The organisation also said re-bookings for 2017 are looking “strong already”. This year the record hit by the four day exhibition was the 1,535 exhibitors from 44 countries, including 336 companies exhibiting at the event for the first time.

Offshore Europe 2015: What will be the lasting impressions from this year?
Later today when stands are being dismantled, cars eventually manage to exit the AECC car park and delegates stand in the security queue at the airport, what will be the lasting impressions of Offshore Europe 2015? Hopefully not the announcement that 5,500 North Sea jobs have been lost in recent months (surely an unnecessary stat this week?) or the traffic glue frustrations experienced by some. Inevitably comparisons will be made by many (not least Aberdeen’s hoteliers and publicans) with OE 2013. But is that appropriate?

Offshore Europe 2015: We will only thrive as an industry with the best minds on our side
Despite the challenges that the industry is currently facing in relation to the current commodity price, we have continued to see a steady stream of visitors to what remains the largest oil and gas event in Europe. I’ve always been impressed by what there is to see at Offshore Europe, showing in so many ways the breadth and depths, quite literally, that our industry goes to in order to innovate, push new boundaries and find new solutions. I am pleased that this year’s conference and exhibition has upheld that tradition.
