Sharing Industry Expertise to Support Marine Renewable Energy

摘要

The still growing MRE industry would benefit from cross-fertilization of expertise from the shipping and offshore oil and gas industries. This transfer is already happening and there is much potential for further interaction. All-Energy 2012 in Aberdeen, the United Kingdom's largest renewable energy exhibition and conference, saw the launch of "Offshore Maintenance -where offshore wind meets oil and gas," a special area within the exhibition that is fully supported in the conference. "There are natural synergies between the offshore wind and oil and gas industries," explains Event Manager, Jamie Thompson. "This new feature will be an event within an event aimed at accelerating operation and maintenance opportunities, and will undoubtedly be where best practice can be exchanged, knowledge and experience can be shared, and cross-sector partnerships can be established, with exhibitors and visitors alike tapping into the expertise available at the show."
