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.

Introduction to OI06

 

 

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.

 

 

 

PARTICIPATING 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 information:
