Who can stop the operation, who can approve its continuation, and who carries overriding responsibility for vessel safety?
Offshore operations bring together vessel crews, client representatives, contractors, and project teams. Nobody ever disagrees on the goal of the project. The disagreement happens the moment the question shifts from “what needs to be done?” to “is it safe to do it now?”
Amsterdam, September 2026 – The countdown to Offshore Energy Exhibition & Conference (OEEC) 2026 is on. On November 24 and 25, the international offshore energy industry will come together at RAI Amsterdam – and now is the time to secure your ticket. With November getting closer, preparations are in
The company brings engineering, specialist personnel, equipment and port infrastructure together under one operating model for complex marine and industrial projects. www.futura1994.it Established in 1994 and employing around 100 people, Futura develops and delivers technology-driven solutions and s
Cotemar, a global company and one of the leading providers of integrated services for Mexico’s oil and gas industry, has deployed its offshore vessels Olympus and Artemis to support strategic offshore construction, maintenance, and engineering projects in the Campeche Sound, one of the Gulf of Mexic
As offshore wind monopiles continue to increase in size, the installation phase is emerging as a key structural design consideration for jack-up vessels. According to a recent GustoMSC study, loads generated during monopile lowering can approach — and in some cases exceed — those associated with ext
With more than 80% of the exhibition floor already reserved, Offshore Energy Exhibition & Conference (OEEC) 2026 is well on its way to another successful edition. Companies from across the offshore energy and maritime sectors have already secured their presence, recognizing OEEC as one of the leadin
Offshore energy assets are a highly vulnerable feature for any power or production business. Security and safety leaders don’t need to have to watch the news from the Middle East or Black Sea to understand their vulnerability. Even in the quieter parts of the world, protestors, nature itself through
Sea state measurement is not a new concept. From initial visual observations of the surface of the sea to the Beaufort scale devised in the 1800s, vessel owners – whether once conquerors of the seas or modern-day freight giants – have always sought data on conditions to ensure that operations at sea
Written by Ron Heffron The maritime energy sector stands at a critical juncture as clean alternative fuels reshape terminal design requirements. Advanced engineering solutions for floating terminals and specialized mooring systems are enabling the safe handling of challenging cargoes like ammonia an
The transaction marks Enviros’ first European acquisition and strengthens offshore survey and AUV operations worldwide Enviros Group (Enviros) is pleased to announce the acquisition of a majority control stake at Lighthouse S.p.A, a leading offshore survey and geoscience company, headquartered in Bo
As offshore wind expands into new frontiers, jack-up vessels face increasingly difficult working environments. Beyond the sandy soils of the North Sea, projects are now being built on dense tills, coral limestone, and even exposed bedrock. These hard seabeds are testing the limits of conventional ja
