Subsea UK chief executive Neil Gordon said: “A recognised world-leader in the subsea industry, the UK market output is estimated at £18.9 billion, commanding around a third of global market-share. With an increase in global market share projected for the next few years, there is a wealth of exciting overseas opportunities for UK companies. With support from UKTI, we have attracted an impressive array of multi-national and indigenous oil and gas companies from around the world aim to meet UK companies at Subsea 2012 and facilitate new export opportunities for our members.”
He added: “As the subsea industry continues to be at the forefront of new field development in new frontiers, going deeper and further than ever before, it is vital that we continue to engage with global markets and exploit the opportunities available.”
Subsea 2012 is expected to attract over 2,500 visitors during the two-day exhibition and conference on 8th and 9th February. Over 750 people will attend the Subsea UK Business Awards Dinner on 8th February at the AECC
