Oceanographic Survey Vessels - OSV 2016

OSV 2016 - Oceanographic Survey Vessels

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.

OSV 2016 for Navies, Coast Guards and National Hydrographic Offices:

  • Understand the economic and security benefits of owning this class of vessel.

  • Learn how OSVs impact marine resource management, improve EEZ policing, enhance your strategic security and contribute to Maritime Domain Awareness.

  • Acquire the information and skills needed to successfully build and present a compelling strategic and economic case for navy OSV acquisition.

  • Recognise the pros and cons of different designs for such vessels and how they impact build and operational costs. 

  • Learn about the choices made in deciding on embarked equipment, UUVs, sensors, to create a capability that is right for each nation’s needs and budget.
