Critical information at a critical point in the business cycle
W
elcome to the sixth Riviera Maritime Media Middle East Offshore Support Journal Conference. The Dubai Maritime City Authority is the platinum sponsor and we are very grateful for their support and that of the wider UAE maritime community. Almost 12,000 industry professionals have attended Riviera’s Offshore Support Journal Conferences to date. Approximately one third of attendees have come from the shipowning/ operating community. Today’s conference takes place in Dubai, one of the world’s fast growing maritime clusters and home to one of the world’s pre-eminent maritime ports. Or to put it another way: a lot of vessels and maritime business calls here making it a perfect setting for our event. We gather at a critical point in the business cycle. The Middle East, having weathered the ravages of the downturn better than any other global centre of activity, is again poised for growth. OSV vessel utilisation and chartering represent 40% of global contracted supply and rig utilisation is running at 75%, versus a global average of 60%. Over the next five years, US$130Bn will be spent on offshore development. Abu Dhabi National Oil Co (ADNOC) plans to ramp up its production to 4 mbpd by 2020 and 5 mbpd by 2030. Work is also underway on the Hail and Gasha artificial island projects. They will need as many as 160 vessels over the next 2-4 years. Speakers will be detailing the latest market data, trends, charter rates and project development news needed to capitalise on the expected upturn. Our presenters will also be taking a critical look at new technologies.

You will hear perspectives on which deliver the greatest efficiencies and return on investment. The conference reflects the quality of the Offshore Support Journal (OSJ) and its range of supporting publications. The undisputed market leader, OSJ is circulated to more than 1,000 national and private oil companies and contractors as well as more than 2,200 shipowners, operators and managing companies of support vessels globally. Additional copies are distributed at appropriate events, globally, including this one. Please do take the opportunity to review your complimentary copy, and if you have not already done so, confirm your subscription today. Across our two-day conference, social and networking opportunities will not be neglected. There will be many opportunities to network and forge new contacts. These include coffee breaks and buffet lunches. Of course the Middle East Offshore Support Journal Conference could not take place without the generous support of all our sponsors. Special thanks go to Dubai Maritime City Authority, Gold sponsors ABS, Emirates Maritime Arbitration Centre and Port Vila Vanuatu and silver sponsors ADNOC, Allianz Marine, Bureau Veritas, Fraay Marine, IEC Telecom, Marlink, Moriah Marine Services and Orange Business Services.

Platinum sponsor’s welcome
A very good morning to all of you
O
n behalf of the Dubai Maritime City Authority, it is a great privilege to be here with you today to welcome you to the Middle East Offshore Support Journal Conference 2019, the sixth edition. It is an opportune day to share with each other our knowledge and experiences and explore the opportunities that lie ahead for the global shipping industry as well as tackle the most pressing issues the maritime community faces. It is a timetested formula that challenges are most effectively addressed when members of the same community work together and collaborate to find common solutions. Dubai, which takes its roots from its maritime heritage, is in a strategic position to play a pivotal role in the global offshore vessel industry, having made massive developments in the sector and ranked among the world’s 10 leading maritime capitals. The emirate provides one of the most comprehensive, competitive, and distinctive maritime platforms in the world, particularly in shipping, ports, marine engineering operations, and marine support services. The local maritime sector hosts over 7,400 companies performing
MARITIME DUBAI IS ANOTHER ONE-OF-AKIND PROJECT OF THE DMCA WHICH IS GEARED TOWARDS DEVELOPING AN INDEPENDENT AND UNIQUE IDENTITY FOR THE EMIRATE AS A MARITIME HUB”
over 13,000 marine-based activities. Furthermore, the local industry now accounts for 7% of Dubai’s GDP and provides over 76,000 maritime jobs across the emirate. Ladies and gentlemen Your presence here today is testament to the confidence and trust of the global maritime community in Dubai’s capabilities to bring together the world’s leading experts in the sector to form a common vision for the future. Dubai’s efforts to become a firstclass international maritime gateway focused on research, innovation and advanced technology is part of an ambition to contribute significantly to the sustainable development of the global maritime sector. As part of our keenness to further enhance the growth of the offshore support vessels industry, the DMCA has launched several high-profile initiatives aimed at facilitating maritime activities. The Dubai Maritime Virtual Cluster, for example, offers easy online access to users through a website serving the four main objectives of the sector, namely maritime clustering development, empowerment, raising awareness, and encouraging participation and interaction among various stakeholders. Another initiative is the Innovation Quay, which taps on innovative ideas complementing DMCA’s very own ‘Maritime Creativity and Innovation Lab’. Through this project, we encourage leading manufacturers and research institutions to take advantage of this facility to engage in studies and develop state-of-the-art infrastructure for the sector such as drones, 3D technology, smart devices and autonomous driving inventions. Maritime Dubai is another one-of-a-

kind project of the DMCA which is geared towards developing an independent and unique identity for the emirate as a maritime hub, capable of pushing the growth of various clusters including shipping, harbours, berths, logistics, maritime arbitration, classification, and licensing, to name a few. Our mission is to continuously promote the co-ordination and co-operation of the sector worldwide and take the necessary steps to improve local maritime operational processes following the highest standards of excellence, quality, innovation, and safety. This is visible in our unwavering support to industry initiatives such as the Middle East Offshore Support Journal Conference as Platinum Sponsor in line with the goals of the Dubai Maritime Sector Strategy to make the emirate the world’s leading maritime capital. These two days hold for us a wonderful opportunity to examine new horizons and build an innovative framework that can navigate us through emerging challenges and transform them into new prospects for development, which leads to the advancement of the maritime sector. Thank you for coming and I wish you all a successful and productive conference.
