In the end, all the discussions and exchanges come to an consensus: the shipbuilding market would not see another peak in the next few years.

About 1 trillion yuan is expected to be invested during the implementation of China’s 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-2015), with the majority going to offshore oil exploration. In addition, with Chinese shipyards accounting for over 40% of global AHTS, and 20% of PSV orders, it is evident that the country is seeking more dependence on marine industries as a strategic development move.
With CNOOC alone showing a 30% increase in CAPEX spend during 2010, the Offshore Support Vessels China conference will put the focus on contracting opportunities in China’s domestic offshore logistics sector, and will also review the critical role of China’s shipbuilding industry on the markets.
Learn the secrets of the world’s largest offshore vessel builder at this year’s Offshore Support Vessels China conference, where you will get a chance to hear directly from Sinopacific Shipbuilding Group. Chairman and CEO, Simon Liang, will explain the group’s secret of success on a more strategic level while Chief Technical Officer, Ye Zhao, will discuss their progress and efforts on technology and design of OSVs.
Co-located with the 5th Annual Bunkering in Asia and the 11th International Dry Bulk Review conference, the Offshore Support Vessels Chinaconference will provide a prime platform to network with top global and industry executives from across the offshore marine and oil & gas value chain.
An unparalleled line-up of speakers comprising shipowners, shipbuilders, oil & gas players, and industry experts will be on hand, including leading regional players like Pipavav Defence and Offshore Engineering, Drydocks World, Hallin Marine, Mermaid Maritime, Wintermar Offshore Marine Group, Reliance Industries and Nam Cheong.
Apart from the Sinopacific Shipbuilding Group, other key players in China that will provide market updates and shed light on opportunities for local and international companies include SINOPEC, China Merchants Heavy Industry (Shenzhen), the China Export & Credit Insurance Corporation, International Far Eastern Leasing, Germanischer Lloyd, and Bureau Veritas.
In addition, attendees will also get to hear from international experts such as Wartsila Ship Design, DNV, Cargotec Marine, ABB Marine and Ulstein, on new technology and design.
Highlights of the event include a Ship Owner Panel forecasting new build requirements and expectations from shipyards, a Shipyard Panel on leveraging new technologies in building highly sophisticated OSVs, new developments in AHTS and PSVs, as well as identifying and overcoming the challenges for international shipowners placing orders in China.
Key topics such as China’s shipbuilding role in the global OSV market, OSV shipbuilding developments and trends in China, strategies to improve shipyard competitiveness in the offshore marine sector, and how PRC shipbuilders are positioned on the technological ladder, will also be discussed at this inaugural event.

Introduction:
During the China 12th Five-Year-Plan, China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) and China Petrochemical Corporation (SINOPEC) are boosting their investments in offshore projects. It is predicted that during the "12th Five-Year-Plan Period ” ,the market scale of the Chinese offshore oil field service industry (including drilling) will reach RMB 190 billion. Under this industry developing momentum, some experts has claimed that the depletion of oil and gas resources in shallow water, coupled with the increase in energy demand, will force the China petroleum industry to move into deeper water.
Increasing Deep and Ultra-deep Water Exploration and Production is Driving the Growth of the FPSO Industry. However, it is not possible to extrapolate the shallow water technology into deep waters. To meet the market demand, the petroleum industry is developing and implemen-ting new technologies based on limited experience, as full-scale experi-mental verification is not always possible. There is an urgent need to study these new technologies, as the consequences of failure of such systems are enormous. A failure, apart from causing financial loss, may also lead to environmental hazards such as oil spills, which may endanger the sea flora and fauna.
The FPSO China Summit 2011 organized by Genesis Resourcing Consulting China will gather 200+ decision makers from global industry leading companies, institutes,association and government to draw the blueprint for the development of China FPSO industry. This innovative and focused business event will provide you with a precious networking platform and konwledge pool to map out your own business development strategis and position your service for maximum market share beyond 2011 in China! We are looking forward to meet you in Shanghai!

The 5th Asian Shipbuilding Experts' Forum opens on 1-2 December in Busan, South Korea. 
The forum is sponsored by the Korea Shipbuilders' Association (KOSHIPA) and co-hosted by the Shipbuilders' Association of Japan (SAJ), Japan Ship Technology Research Association (JSTRA), China Association of National Shipbuilding Industry (CANSI), etc.
Experts from shipbuilding industry, R&D institutes, governments, classification society and others from Asia are gathered to exchange internationally relevant opinions and enhance mutual understanding on maritime issues.
