Comments from Subsea UK

“With so many of the world’s leading subsea companies operating here in the north-east of Scotland, the conference has fast become the best place to hear about the latest developments in the ROV sector,” Neil Gordon, Chief Executive of Subsea UK, said.

“There's no denying that the outlook has changed dramatically since our last ROV conference and times are incredibly tough. We must look beyond the current crisis and take a long-term approach to making our industry more efficient and therefore more sustainable in a lower oil price environment. Tackling the challenges head on and working more co-operatively is high on the agenda.”
