Oceanographic Survey Vessels - OSV 2016
11.03.2016
Oceanographic Survey Vessels - OSV 2016 - is being held from 7 to 9 June 2016 in London UK. The importance of oceanographic and hydrographic survey vessels in the commercial sector have long been well-understood.
OSV 2016 conference will focus squarely on naval requirements for OSVs where there is a strategic security benefit and/or where there is also a clear economic case.
Research shows that OSVs tend to be operated largely by navies or, in the case of nations with a territorial survey requirement, by their coast guards or other government branches such as Food, Agriculture & Fisheries ministries or sometimes in collaboration with marine science institutions with supplemental government funding.
There are 373 OSVs in service with 45 countries. With 29 vessels on order in 9 countries, there are current requirements for at least 8 new OSVs of different levels of sophistication that could be worth US$ 1.6 billion. A forecast shows requirements in at least 20 countries over the next five years worth a further US$ 4 to 5 billion.
In the last five years has a new growth market been emerging amongst so-called 'Tier-2 navies' in North Africa, Latin America, the Middle East and Asia—particularly those with recent or planned submarine acquisitions.
