Programme
An exciting programme has been developed covering all aspects of today's marine
contracting industry, addressing the range of achievements and issues faced as the
global industry explores new frontiers - ever deeper water, harsher environments
and cutting edge technical developments.
As in previous years, a variety of presentation sessions is included, with both
full plenary and parallel marine, diving and ROV/survey sessions, plus topic-specific
workshops and a variety of social and networking events.
