The
World's Largest Marine Science & Ocean Technology Meeting
If
you plan to attend just one event in 2006, then make it to the world's
largest maritime technology event
Anticipation
is building as the start date for the world’s greatest marine science
and ocean technology event approaches. More than 7,000 ocean specialists
from a variety of disciplines and industries will converge on London’s
Excel Centre in Docklands to see the latest technologies displayed by
500+ exhibiting companies from around the world. These will include
professionals and key-buyers from the worlds of marine science, oil
& gas and naval defence.
The
FREE of charge exhibition, conference and associated meetings programme
serve a vital role in showcasing the cutting-edge technologies and
advancing the sciences related to our future global ocean planet.
In
addition to the exhibition, that has grown considerably since leaving
Brighton in 2000, the event is also eagerly awaited by conference
delegates looking forward to the industry’s leading ocean science and
technology conference, this year chaired by industry heavy-weight, Dr
Richard Spinrad, Assistant Administrator at NOAA Research.
The
conference theme, ‘Ocean Technology in Service to Society’ will
cover a range of international science, research and commercial issues.
The no-fee policy at Oi06 enables visitors to attend sessions from
disciplines other than their own, enhancing the cross-fertilisation of
ideas between a various specialist disciplines.

SHIPS
Oi06
are delighted to accommodate vessels and craft at ExCeL to complement
the exhibition and conference. The dockside, which is located
immediately outside the exhibition Hall, was very well visited at Oi04
when 17 vessels were berthed alongside. We are keen to encourage more
research and survey vessels, as well as oil spill control boats with
their equipment, to join us at the 2006 event.
YANTLET
is a 14m catamaran of GRP construction, propelled by two water-jet
units. She will be used for regular product demonstrations on the water
during OI, as RESONs principle demo vessel. YANTLET has been in the
Excel dock many times before, but this is the first year RESON will use
her
Gardline's
RV TRITON is a multi-role survey vessel working
predominately in the North Sea. The vessel has recently undertaken
hydrographic programmes for the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) as
well as geophysical work for the oil and gas industry. Exhibiting
the RV TRITON at Oi06 will provide clients, existing and new, the
opportunity to familiarise themselves with the full scope of Gardline's
activities.
See
the full conference programme below.
Oi06
also has a number of exciting exhibitions, conferences and meetings
running alongside the main exhibition and conference, including the
Interspill 2006 conference, the Spill 06 exhibition, (both focussing on
oil spill response technology) GIS, the coastal and marine mapping
conference that sold out at Oi04, and IIDC, a conference focussing on
inland and inshore diving developments. A number of these meetings are
free of charge to attend. Please click on the link below for further
