OSV Design Trends to Be Discussed at Houston Summit on April 2
Portland, ME (PRWEB) March 05, 2015 -- Offshore service vessel design trends will be discussed at the upcoming WorkBoat OSV Summit in Houston on April 2, 2015.
The agenda for the one-day Summit will feature a number of topics relevant to offshore service vessel operators and builders, including the roundtable discussion on Design Trends to be lead by William Lind, vice president of operations at VARD Marine Inc., and Guido Perla, chairman of Guido Perla & Associates Inc.
Lind and Perla will lead an engaging conversation centered around technological advancements of today’s OSV designs, the heightened demand from the deepwater/ultradeepwater market for new OSV designs, capabilities and more capacities. Lind and Perla will discuss how today’s demands have made OSVs much more complex to build and operate.
