IRO Annual Report 2012

Preface In general 2012 was a successful year for IRO members. This report will give you some insight into the activities deployed by the IRO team to support our members in improving their results.

2012 was also a year of changes within the association. At the annual IRO member meeting it was decided that due to the packed agendas of our (board) members, the effectiveness and efficiency of the working group and committee meetings should improve.

To achieve this it was decided to reduce the total number of board members from 17 to 10 and to improve the outcome of meetings by the introduction of committees chaired by board members.

Members participating in these committees exchange experience and discuss the latest developments and challenges. The chairs will share this with the other board members and give feed back to the committee in return. In this way the link between members and board will be more direct, the outcome more “demand driven� and will be a good guide for the approach of the IRO team in the executive office in supporting the members.

This year it was also decided that the IRO office will move from Zoetermeer to Rotterdam by the first of July 2013.

During the year there was a full programme with international and national exhibitions, seminars, trade missions , a state visit, member meet member meetings and teaming up with national and international fellow organizations , various educational institutes and government officials.

As well as renowned and market-leading companies, the association consists of small and medium sized member companies that are internationally very well received for their reliability, quality and innovative solutions.

To facilitate and promote these IRO members and to promote the Dutch suppliers in the Oil and Gas industry all over the world are good reasons to keep growing as an association not only next year but in the years to come.

Since its foundation in 1971 IRO has promoted the interests of the Dutch supply and service companies in the upstream oil and gas industry.

Members cover all activities involved in the supply industry such as engineering, field development, pipeline installation, maintenance, manufacturing and material & equipment supply onshore as well as offshore.

Innovative Technology Innovation is crucial for the oil and gas industry as the new finds of oil and gas are often at difficult locations such as deep offshore and arctic areas. Bringing down the ever growing costs of exploration and production is also an important issue together with improving and increasing the production from existing fields.

members. Alternatively the innovation contracts for upstream gas were presented at an IRO Gas Group (IGG) meeting at EUROLOOP on June 13th 2012. Only 13 persons participated in this meeting.

Innovation contract ‘Wind op Zee’ Under the top sector “Energy” there is also another innovation contract interesting for IRO members: ‘Innovation contract Wind op Zee”. This innovation contract was presented to IRO members at an IRO Offshore Wind Group meeting on the 22nd of March at Ampelmann BV at the RDM Campus in Rotterdam.

Innovation contract for the top sector gas Nine top sectors have been selected by the Dutch government for further support. Energy is one of these top sectors. IRO, in conjunction with NOGEPA and EBN, set up a strong concerted lobby campaign to get oil and gas on the agenda under the top sector energy.

The Ministry of Economic Affairs has selected gas as focus area for innovation within the top sector “Energy”. The main government goal is to realize the ambition of 30/30: Produce 30 billion m³ gas in 2030 from the marginal fields in the Netherlands. As a result the Ministry of Economic Affairs has made an additional budget available for innovation in the field of gas technology, on top of the existing budget in favour of TNO, ECN and NWO, starting in 2012 with 71 Million EURO. In order to be able to profit from the additional subsidies, the industry has to participate in knowledge development in the form of public/private partnerships; the so called innovation contracts. To stimulate cooperation with research institutes an extra fiscal incentive is available (RDA+). A number of innovation contracts for upstream oil and gas have been established: upstream gas, unconventional gas and LNG. An information meeting on March 21st 2012 organized

by IRO in cooperation with TNO had to be cancelled due to lack of interest from IRO

Green Deal Offshore Wind Energy The Dutch Government and The Netherlands Wind Energy Association signed a Green Deal Offshore Wind Energy (an innovation contract under the top sectors policy) the purpose of which is to lower the cost of offshore wind energy by innovation. A package of incentives is available for companies participating in the Green Deal. NWEA has formed a coalition of companies that will participate in the Green Deal. A large number of IOWG members are already signed up for the Green Deal coalition. (See www.nwea.nl for more information).

Innovation contract top sector “Water” Besides the top sector “Energy”, the top sector “Water” is also interesting for IRO as the maritime industry is included under this sector. IRO members are welcome to participate in innovation contracts for the maritime industry. On the 3rd of April and the 7th of November 2012 seminars on this subject were organized by NML. All IRO members received an invitation. A problem exists in interesting SME companies to participate in the Innovation contract programs. IRO will make an extra effort to interest SME to participate.

Maritime Innovation Program (MIP) 2007- 2012 The Maritime Innovation Program for the maritime manufacturing industry and the offshore industry came to an end in 2012. With the received subsidy of EUR 35 million, a total of EUR 95 million on projects has been realised. The results of the program have been published in a booklet : ‘Éen Terugblik Vooruit’

IRO KIVI NIRIA lecture Offshore Technology section of Kivi Niria organizes monthly Thursday evening lectures on innovative technology. IRO was asked to host an evening lecture on October 18th 2012. Theme of the IRO evening was offshore technology from the oil and gas industry for the offshore wind energy industry. Besides a general introduction by Chris Westra of We@Sea, IRO members were given the opportunity to present their innovations for the offshore wind industry. IRO member that gave presentations were: Seaway Heavy Lifting, IHC Hydrohammer and Offshore Solutions.

Decommissioning seminar On the 24th of October 2012 IRO in cooperation with Decom North Sea and Navingo, organized a decommissioning seminar at Offshore Energy in the RAI in Amsterdam.

Speakers at this seminar were: Brian Nixon of Decom North Sea, who gave an overview of the enormous opportunities in the North Sea. Ian Riach of CNR International gave an update of the plans for the Murchison platform decommissioning. Michiel Schoenmaekers of Smit Marine Projects presented a case study on the removal of Wintershall platforms Q8A and Q8B. Arnoud Bosch of Seaway Heavy Lifting gave a presentation on the Shell Inde decommissioning project.

Third party technology conferences endorsed by IRO IRO endorsed, promoted and sponsored a number of conferences and exhibitions organized by third parties in the Netherlands: --Offshore Pipeline Technology (OPT) March 6th and 7th 2012 --Harsh Weather Summit May 22nd and 23rd 2012 --IADC Drilling HSE Europe 2012 (Energy Wise) September 26th and 27th 2012 --IIR Reuse and Decommissioning seminar of offshore platform in the Southern North-Sea October 2nd and 3rd 2012

Marine and offshore automation seminar On the 8th of November Federation of Technology Branches organized a seminar on automation in the marine and offshore Industry. The event took place at the RDM campus in Rotterdam and was endorsed by IRO.

Regulatory Affairs European offshore safety regulations Triggered by the Macondo disaster in the Gulf of Mexico the European Commission is planning to introduce European offshore safety regulations. European oil and gas countries with well-developed offshore safety regulations are in general against the EU plans and would favour an EU directive instead of a regulation, as they would then be able to keep their own regulations in place. The Dutch Government SODM was initialy in favour of a regulation. The position paper of the Dutch Government can be found at www.officielebekendmakingen.nl Kamerstuk BNC-fiche 13-12-2011, 22112 nr 1281. NOGEPA and IRO, along with most oil and gas organizations in Europe, are against a regulation and prefer a directive. NOGEPA made a position paper which is backed by IRO. The NOGEPA position paper can be found at www.nogepa.nl.

On the 5th of April 2012 IRO, in cooperation with NOGEPA, organized a meeting at Allseas Engineering in Delft to inform members about this new regulation. About 70 IRO members attended the meeting. The status by the end of the year 2012 is that general feeling is that the EC will decide to go for a directiv in 2013.

Standardisation of safety training for offshore wind personnel EWEA, The European Wind Energy Association coordinates an initiative on safety training standardization for personnel working at offshore wind projects. Niilo Alakopsa of Falck Nutec participated in this working group on behalf of the IRO Safety Training Group and the IRO Offshore Wind Energy Group.

Harmonization of safety standards for offshore wind crew boats and installation vessels IRO was contacted by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment which is considering a harmonization process with other European countries on safety standards for offshore wind Installation vessels and small service boats. However the ministry will only engage in such a process if there is enough interest from the Dutch industry. On January 17th and November 22nd of 2012 the Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment organized meetings on this subject. IOWG and ISTG members were asked to express their interest.

Seaway Heavy Lifting, Gusto and Windcat, who were present at the meetings, have given their input.

Underwater noise study The underwater noise study is in progress. On the 20th of June 2012 a second user’s advisory committee meeting was held to give an account of what has been done so far.

The study focuses on the effects of pile driving, by the offshore wind energy industry, on fish and sea mammals. The study will be executed by two PhD students and one senior scientist and will take four years to complete. The study is sponsored by the government, NOGEPA and four IRO members. Sponsors of the study from the suppliers’ side are IHC, Jumbo Offshore, Seaway Heavy Lifting and Heerema Marine Contractors.

NEN ISO and EN norms in the oil and gas industry IRO is an active participant in the norm committee 310008 Gas- and oil exploration and production of the NEN. This norm committee is involved in the realization of ISO and EN standards for the oil and gas exploration and production.

Export promotion Export promotion remains an important IRO activity. In 2012 a large number of activities were organized. Participation in oil and gas exhibitions, outgoing trade missions and other export promotional activities were held. Some of these export promotion activities were organized by IRO. In other cases the lead was taken by organizations like FME, HME, EVD, other (foreign) associations, embassies etc.

On & Offshore Gorinchem and Iraq Seminar From 27-29 March 2012 IRO was present with an information booth at the On & Offshore exhibition in Gorinchem. More than 195 companies active in the oil, gas, (petro) chemical and dredging industries, of which 30 were IRO members, were represented at the stand,.

The three-day exhibition drew 5,316 visitors. During On & Offshore on 28 March, IRO organized a seminar on doing business in Iraq. With 143 billion barrels Iraq has the third largest oil reserves in the world.

However production has fallen sharply over the years due to instability in the country.

Iraq is now investing heavily in an effort to rebuild its oil and gas industry. In the last few years Iraq, through bidding rounds, concluded service contracts with IOC’s and National Oil Companies mostly in consortia for the additional development of existing brown fields and development of some discovered and appraised fields (green fields). For instance the Iraq Oil Ministry, Royal Dutch Shell and Mitsubishi signed a $17 billion dollar deal to help re-build existing and develop new infrastructure in order to process natural gas.

Trade Mission to Qatar 1-3 October 2012 From October 1st until October 3rd the DES Oil & Gas Trade Mission to Qatar took place in and around Doha. DES, that stands for Dutch Energy Solutions, is a program to promote Dutch companies involved as suppliers in the Oil & Gas Industry around the Arabian Gulf.

On behalf of Shell Qatar Mr. Christaan van der Wouden gave a presentation about doing business in Qatar in general. For all participating companies it was very obvious that the Qatari are very much interested in doing business with Dutch Suppliers. This interest was shown by the number of relevant managers they involved in the match making sessions and the time they took for these meetings. Since they are looking for reliable partners that can provide them with the best quality and with eyes for environmental aspects against a reasonable rate, there are a lot of opportunities for Dutch suppliers to provide them with exactly that to realize the very ambitious projects that are still to come in Qatar.

Offshore Technology Conference, Houston USA Experts from the offshore energy industry around the world came together 30 April3 May for the 2012 Offshore Technology Conference at Reliant Park in Houston.

Network events Several times a year IRO organizes meetings with and for members. The main goal of these meetings is to give members the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas and to do business successfully by using the vast network of the association.

In general the host company gives a presentation about its activities followed by an excursion and network drinks. For the host company this is a great opportunity to give greater insight into the business it is in. To create a larger network, IRO also organizes meetings where non-members are invited.

IRO New Year’s Reception On Wednesday 11 January 2012 the IRO New Year’s reception was held at ‘Sociëteit de Witte’ in Den Haag. IRO Chairman Pieter van Oord and Managing Director Sander Vergroesen welcomed the guests. Former chairman of IRO, Gert-Jan Kramer, was presented a Certificate of Honorary Membership by Pieter van Oord, in appreciation for his efforts as IRO Chairman in the period 1991-2011. Besides IRO members there were also a number of special guests, including representatives from embassies of prominent oil countries. The reception was very well attended by 270 guests!

Oil & Gas Industry Forecast 2012 The Dutch suppliers to the oil and gas industry in 2011 had more turnover than expected.

This was shown by the annual survey by Ernst & Young among the suppliers in the oil and gas sector, which was presented at the Oil & Gas Industry Forecast on 31 January 2012 in Rotterdam. Over 230 guests attended the annual meeting. Most of the suppliers saw their revenues rise compared with the previous year. “Although the crisis has clearly led to uncertainty and hesitation in the market, the oil and gas industry suffered relatively

10

little,” says Jeff Sluijter, partner at Ernst and Young. “Most of these companies are now focused on external activities. The fundamentals of the industry generally remain strong because the global demand for energy - and the associated investment – continues to rise in the coming decades because of the fast growing markets. On the longer term there is reason for more optimism, as the current economic challenges will not be permanent.

The majority of the respondents this year will have further growth in orders and sales.

The main bottlenecks that may play a role are the shortage of qualified personnel and increased competition.

Corporate Social Responsibility The study also shows that although most companies have extensive internal rules related to environment and safety, there is still relatively little external convey in the field of CSR. Jan-Peter Balkenende, expert in the field of corporate social responsibility at Ernst & Young also gave a presentation at the meeting: “Sustainability is becoming higher on the agenda of companies and is also considered more and more as a ‘business driver’. This assumes that companies are transparent in their objectives and their realization. It is not without reason that financial and social policies are increasingly integrated.”

The annual Oil & Gas Industry Forecast event was organized by IRO, Ernst & Young and Gulf Publishing Company. Publishers of the magazines World Oil and Hydrocarbon Processing also gave their perspectives on the developments in the oil and gas industry.

Crispian McCredie from Alboran Energy Strategy Consultants also gave his view on Corporate and Social Responsibility in his typical animated way.

Last year a contest was held where the participants had to leave their business cards with the answer to the following question: ‘How many wells were drilled in 2011?’. Michiel Wijsmuller, President of Offshore Ship Designers, came closest to the right answer which was 101,226 wells drilled worldwide in 2011.

IRO Managing Director Sander Vergroesen and Joep Hopman, Managing Director of Heinen & Hopman, welcomed the 40 IRO members present. Eric Stoffelsen, Sales Manager, gave a presentation on the activities of Heinen & Hopman and their innovative products and developments. Two other IRO members were given the opportunity to provide a very brief presentation: Mr VJ Chun from DSR Corp and Ton Ippel from Mecha Heat. After the presentations the participants were guided through the office building and workshop where they could see how the various machines and devices are designed and then built. The afternoon ended with a networking event.

Annual General Meeting The IRO Annual General Meeting took place on 22 November 2012 at IHC Kinderdijk.

The main items on the agenda for the Annual General Meeting were the finances of the association. The financial result for 2011 was again positive. The 2011 annual accounts were approved and it is expected that 2012 will be closed within budget. The budget for 2013 has been approved and it was decided that the membership fees remain unchanged.

The (re)appointments of Board members were also discussed during the meeting.

The Executive Board and General Board were merged into one board. This was done to make the board smaller and the board meetings more efficient.

Members meeting at Keppel Verolme On Wednesday 6 June a very successful IRO members meeting took place at the shipyard of Keppel Verolme in Botlek, Rotterdam. Over 120 participants attended the presentation of Harold Linssen, Managing Director of Keppel Verolme. He gave a brief introduction about the history of the yard and presented the three projects that were currently in Dock 7.

The semi-submersible drilling rig Scarabeo 6 from Saipem undergoing an upgrade so that it will be able to drill in deeper waters: the repair and general maintenance of the jack- up accommodation unit COSL Rigmar and the construction of a 33/155 kV transformer platform for German Global Tech 1 Offshore Wind GmbH. After the presentation members were guided in groups along these impressive projects in the dry dock.

Employment & Education IRO together with NOGEPA continues efforts to attract more qualified young staff to our industry. At various levels input was given into educational programmes and events.

Education highlights

Poort in Sneek. It also included STC Group and Hogeschool Rotterdam who will develop similar programmes for the southwest of the Netherlands.

A start has been made to combine the effort of HBO Schools into an HBO Offshore Network, the NHL Leeuwarden, Avans Hogeschool from Den Bosch and the Hogeschool Rotterdam. Within the Network the schools will exchange curricula and their experience with different Minors for Oil & Gas and Offshore Engineering.

Helma Cruts left the IRO & Nogepa in May 2012 and she was succeeded by Chris Wijsman.

Course “Oil and Gas Well Sourced” Education In 2012 the support to Minors for the Offshore & Oil Gas was continued and extended.

In January 2012, 78 students finished the minor ‘Offshore engineering & automation’ at Avans Hogeschool Den Bosch’. In September a new group started with 52 participants.

Over 20 companies including IRO and Nogepa are involved in lecturing, providing excursions and coaching. In cooperation with IRO & KIVI NIRIA , Avans Hogeschool organized an offshore seminar on Nov 1st. Besides various speakers from the industry the students also presented their projectwork. IRO presented prizes for the best project.

The new Minor ‘Offshore Oil and Gas’ in MCN Den Helder which started for the first time in 2011 finished in January with 12 students. In September the next group started with 16 students. Both Nogepa and IRO members were involved in (guest) lecturing and providing excursions. The development of the Bachelor and MBO-level programs for Maritime Technology has been finalized. With input and support from four branch organizations (Hiswa, Scheepsbouw Nederland, the ‘Vereniging van Waterbouwers, and IRO) this program was developed for the NHL Hogeschool in Leeuwarden and ROC Friese

The IRO course Oil & Gas Well Sourced is a non-technical course in Rotterdam that gives insight as to how Oil and Gas are formed, explored and produced and gives an overview of how the industry works.

The course is presented by experts in the Oil and Gas industry and is given in English or Dutch. In 2012 the course was presented 11 times, 7 in Dutch and 4 in the English language, in total 164 participants attended the course. The course will be continued in 2013. Costs for participation are 495 per person for IRO members and €795 per person for non-members (excl. VAT). There are opportunities to organize an in-house course for your employees on your own premises, contact us for more information.

NML IRO, as a member of NML, is involved in the new set-up of the NML and takes part in the Human Capital Council of the NML. The main topics, which were started in 2012, are the improvement of employment survey, image improvement, and intake improvement from technical school. The topics are in a preliminary stage and will be further developed in 2013.

IRO Annual Report 2012

of the offshore-firms who took part in this survey was 195 employees. The percentage of vacancies in the offshore sector is 4% extrapolated for the sector it means there are +675 job-openings.

Conferences IRO together with Nogepa were present at the Maritime & Offshore Career Event in May in Rotterdam and at the Offshore Energy Conference in October in the RAI, Amsterdam in order to promote our industry and to attract students for the vacancies in our sector.

Sponsoring In order to improve our image and to promote Technology, Offshore Engineering and Oil & Gas the following projects were sponsored: “Vletten op de Maas”, Techniektoernooi, Delft Offshore Symposium, Techniektoernooi, Minor Oil & Gas Den Helder, Avans Offshore Seminar, Mijnbouwkundige Vereeniging, Job Fair Go4It in Alphen ad Rijn.

Employment Survey - Arbeidsmarktenquete Maritieme Monitor 2012 NML The IRO has received the results of the Employment Survey. The survey was initiated by the NML and executed by the end of 2012. The information from 155 firms from the Maritime cluster was received for 7 sectors (sea-transport, navy, shipbuilding, offshore, inland shipping, dredging and marine equipment supply).

Work plan 2013 At the end of 2012 a preliminary project plan for Education and Employment was developed for IRO & Nogepa, this plan will be further developed by the newly formed Human Resource & Safety committee (HRSC) which is chaired by Paul Koop, board member of IRO.

These firms represent more than 30,000 employees, which is about 40% of the direct employees of the above maritime sectors. For the offshore sector 32 firms in total have reacted representing 6252 employees which is about 37% of this sector. The average size

Committees and Working Groups At the IRO General Assembly Meeting on the 22nd November 2012 the IRO Board announced changes to the IRO committees and working groups.

The under mentioned committees and working groups were replaced after November 2012 by the following Committees: --Commercial & Financial Affairs --IRO Export and Public Relations Committee --IRO Gas Committee --Human Resources and Safety Committee --Innovation and Regulatory Affairs Committee --Offshore Renewable Installations Committee --Well Services and Drilling Committee New is that the chairs of the committees are also IRO board members and that there is no participation fee applicable any more.

The committees have a policy advisory role and also serve as a sounding board for the association. They are chaired by a member of the Executive Board of the association.

In order to create a good link between the Board, committees, the association and its members, all committee members are IRO members. The committees are a reflection of the companies that IRO represents as an association.

IRO Committee on Commercial and Financial Affairs (CCFZ) The CCFZ only gathered once in 2012. The CCFZ meeting was combined with the IEG meeting on the March 12th 2012. The main topic was the IRO export promotion plan for 2013.

IRO Committee on Technical and Regulatory Affairs The CCFZ was held on the 5th of April 2012 at Allseas Engineering in Delft and was combined with a presentation about the new EU offshore safety regulations. Other subjects at the meeting were the Innovation Contracts and the IRO Innovation seminar 2013

IRO Well Services Group The IWSG meetings are concentrating on safety regulations in the oil and gas industry.

In 2012 IWSG meetings took place on the 27th March at IRO in Zoetermeer, on the 27th of June at the Well Academy in Apeldoorn and on the 20th of September at Resato International in Roden. Subjects were: Schietmeester training. As the present Schietmeester training does not fulfill the requirements of the industry, the IWSG in cooperation with SODM is working on an alternative training course where the companies can arrange their own NOGEPA certified training. The IWSG made a proposal for the content of the training. Other subjects were the danger of pressure; learning from incidents/best practices and the topsector innovation contract upstream gas.

IRO Safety and Training Group (ISTG) The ISTG meetings were held on the 22nd of March and the 18th of October of 2012.

The main subjects of the ISTG meeting were the adaptation in the NOGEPA training manual: European offshore safety regulation; standardization of safety training for

IRO Annual Report 2012

offshore wind personnel; harmonization of safety standards for offshore wind crew boats and installation vessels (see separate headings).

IRO Offshore Wind Group (IOWG) In 2012 three IOWG meetings took place. On March 22nd 2012 at the RDM Campus Rotterdam with presentations on “the Ampelmann” and the Innovation Contract ‘Wind Op Zee’ On September 6th IHC Hydrohammer was host to the IOWG. Guest speaker was Ruben Dijkstra of Eneco who gave a presentation on the Luchterduinen project. As many IRO Export Group members are also involved in offshore wind they were also invited to this meeting. On the December 13th Damen Shipyards Group was the host of the IOWG. This time the guest speaker was Mr. Ton Geul of Visser & Smit on Cable laying for offshore wind projects

Utrecht. Topic of the meeting was the gas ambitions of Poland and the opportunities for Dutch suppliers. On 16 November 2011 the IRO Gas Group (IGG) in cooperation with the IRO Well Services Group (IWSG) organized a seminar on Shale gas (see heading Innovative Technology). With regard to the top sector ‘Energy’, the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture & Innovation has pointed out gas as focus area for innovation.

Beginning 2012 an IGG Group meeting will be organized on the ‘Innovation contract for gas’ to inform IRO members on participation possibilities.

IRO Export Group (IEG) There were two IEG meetings in 2012. On March 12th there was an IEG at HSM Offshore in Schiedam. As the IRO export promotion plans for 2013 were a topic on this meeting, the meeting was combined with an IRO Committee on Commercial and Financial Affairs meeting. On the 6th of December an IEG took place at Bayards Aluminium Constructies in Nieuw Lekkerland.

IRO Gas Group (IGG) On June 13th 2012 an IRO Gas Group meeting took place at NMI’s Euro Loop in Rotterdam, the world’s most advanced calibration system for gasses and liquids. At this meeting IGG chairman Rene Peters also gave a presentation on the Innovation Contract upstream gas. On the 10th of December 2012 an IGG meeting took place at TNO in

Cooperation with other organizations Over the year much attention was again paid to cooperation with other organizations and associations in order to exchange information and to share common areas of interest.

In the field of export promotion, a number of activities and events were organized jointly, or with the support of, the Netherlands Foreign Trade Agency (Agentschap NL / EVD), Netherlands embassies and consulates abroad, the Dutch Maritime Network (NML) and FME-CWM .

Exchange of professional information took place with the Netherlands Diving Centre (NDC), the Royal Institution of Engineers (KIVI NIRIA), the Central Dredging Association (CEDA), FME-CWM and various NML partners. Several joint activities like technical seminars and presentations were organized during the year. IRO likes to thank these organizations for their generous co-operation.

On a national level IRO maintained its close ties with NOGEPA and a frequent exchange of views took place on a number of subjects of mutual interest. The joint IRO/NOGEPA project on education and employment was further extended during the year and will be continued in 2013.

16

IRO also participated again in the regular consultation meetings with the State Supervision of Mines (SodM), NOGEPA and IADC. These meetings have proven to be a very successful medium in which to exchange information and to agree on common stands regarding topics like legislation, HSE issues and labour conditions.

The Dutch Maritime Trade Board (NML) As from January 2012 the Dutch Maritime Trade Board (NML) has been transformed from a predominantly government organization into a company sponsored organization. IRO is committed to continue its participation in the Dutch Maritime Trade Board new style.

IRO has taken up the task of the secretariat of the NML Trade Council. Furthermore IRO participates in the innovation, Public Relation and the Human Capital councils. By the end of 2012 there was still some limited financial support available from the Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment. Support from NML was received for organizing a Holland Lounge at OSEA Singapore 27- 30 November 2012 and for a trade mission to Aberdeen 25-27 September 2012 (see separate headings for more detailed information) On an international level, the useful and pleasant co-operation with our European sister organizations was maintained through the informal EURONET network. EURONET now consists of the national associations of the United Kingdom (EIC, Energy North, ITF, Decom North Sea), Norway (Norsk Industri), Denmark (DMOG), Belgium (Agoria CEC), France (GEP-AFTP) and The Netherlands (IRO).
