Offshore Energy 2013 confirms healthy industry outlook The sixth Offshore Energy Exhibition & Conference on 15 & 16 October 2013 welcomed 9,123 international attendees, an increase of 20% compared to last year. The two-day event had a lot of new features. The main take-away from the event: despite recent cancellations of some big offshore projects, the industry has a healthy order book. The toughest challenge is neither technical nor financial: it’s recruiting the right people to keep the industry running.

Expansion tech talent pool imperative The oil & gas sector is currently dealing with the shortage of trained technical people. In the Netherlands this applies particularly to technicians at intermediate vocational level (“MBO”), but also for highly skilled technicians. Because Shell is a strong brand, we manage to attract good engineers. However, the companies we work with have difficulty recruiting staff and that can also be a problem for us. Additionally, Shell will also experience more difficulty with recruitment as the baby boom generation begins to retire. A new generation is needed to fill the gap. That is why we must fish from a larger pond, to increase our technical talent in every possible way.

Impressions of Offshore Energy 2013 Exhibitor News Van Oord, Theo de Lange (Manager business development) For us offshore energy is a very important market, and both the oil and gas activities as well as the offshore wind activities are growing in importance for Van Oord. Next to that, I think we simply should be at the Offshore Energy exhibition because a lot of our clients are walking around there, making it good for our network. My feeling is that every year Offshore Energy is growing a bit, and I think that is a good sign. The reason is probably that the Netherlands is still playing a strong role in the offshore energy field.
Heerema, Bas Bieckman (Manager recruitment) As a recruitment manager for Heerema, it is my job to find new talent. This is the exhibition in the offshore energy industry were we find the public we need.
Boskalis, Bert van der Velden (Commercial manager subsea services) For Boskalis it is important to be here to be visible in the oil and gas industry. This applies to the renewable energy industry too, which is a market where we can also provide our services that we traditionally provide to the oil and gas industry.
Gusto MSC, Coen Landa (Manager marketing and sales) I think Offshore Energy is a great event in Holland. All the main parties in the playing field of the offshore energy are present and we are happy to be one of them. Offshore Energy has the potential to be one of the main international offshore events, and that is why we are here.
Damen, Arnout Damen (COO) We are here for the sixth time and it is a wonderful event, the quality of the visitors is very high. Damen Shipyards is one of the bigger shipyards in Europe, and we focus on the offshore industry. This is an offshore trade fair, so this is where we need to be.

Exhibitor News ABB, Bram van Meel (General manager industry) I think that Offshore Energy is an excellent place to show all the solutions that we have. ABB is known for all their products, but we also have specific solutions for the offshore energy area. So what better place to show them off than at Offshore Energy. I think the right crowd and the right people are here. Next to that, there are a lot of interesting conference speakers.
Blue Water Shipping, Thomas Bek (Global manager Oil & Gas division) We visited the exhibition last year and found it to be quite interesting. Offshore Energy provides a good mixture of international companies, and a lot of local companies as well. Due to this we want to promote our company to the local companies in the Netherlands. And I must say that we are very impressed. It all looks very well organized; there are a lot of people attending. We have high hopes.
Yokogawa, Niels Koek (Manager industry sales) For Yokogawa it is very important to show our face. Many of our relations can visit us at Offshore Energy, and our sub suppliers and companies with which we do business are present. For us it is the ideal moment to work on our relations and to do some PR.
