6

Navigational Markers • Traditional buoyage becomes a hazard in high flows.

7

And lots more…. • Wet mate connectors with automated capping solutions. • Intelligent subsea intervention systems. • Blade development. • Drawing talent from other industries –

fisheries / military. • Health and safety frameworks for marine energy construction.

• Vessels.

8

Driving Down the Cost of Energy • Early engagement with developers to ensure operational constraints are understood and life cycle costs are considered. • Challenges present opportunities. • Good solutions will help drive standardisation. • Offer lean, intelligent and flexible supply chain to keep costs down.
