Round Table Discussion : OIL AND GAS OFFSHORE TECHNOLOGY
26 NOVEMBER 2013, EUGENIDES FOUNDATION, Auditorium
«Traditionally, very few Greek ship owners are active in niche offshore activities, i.e. drill - ships and Offshore Support Vessels (OSVs). However, recently, the Greek maritime community shows signs of interest for entering more substantially into the strategic energy offshore exploitation field, aiming at taking advantage of this very lucrative business area.
FPSOs, FRSUs, FLNGs and Offshore Support Vessels are already at the focus of attention of some important Greek ship-owners.
Even more so, after the recent discovery of natural gas reserves in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. In this context, a Round Table Discussion on the subject of "Oil & Gas Offshore Technology" will take place during the Conference.
The panel will consist of representatives from operators (ship - owners / charterers), policy makers, classification societies and companies with important position in offshore technologies.»
