S IETY FOR R UNDER ERWATER

The Society for Underwater Technology (SUT) is a multi-disciplinary learned society that brings together organisations and individuals sharing a common interest in underwater technology, ocean science and offshore engineering. Founded in 1966, SUT has members from some 40 countries and now has branches and activities in Aberdeen, the North of England, Houston, Rio de Janeiro, Perth (WA), Melbourne, Kuala Lumpur, Lagos, Bergen, Halifax (Nova Scotia), Cairo and Beijing.
Once again we are honoured to be so closely associated with Oceanology International. Having built a tremendous reputation over the last forty years, it is arguably the event that best refl ects the interests of the Society’s diverse membership. It is therefore not surprising it is at this event more than any other that we see by far the largest number of our members in attendance. Over the years, we have seen this event grow in size and reputation, and are proud of our strong relationship with not only its organisers, but with everyone in the marine science and ocean technology communities who attend as exhibitors, speakers or visitors.
Our association with Oceanology International began in 1970 when we helped establish its conference programme. Our input to the conference has grown and this year for the fi rst time we shall be running a session devoted to unmanned underwater vehicles. The Unmanned Underwater Vehicles Showcase (UUVS) develops the brand name familiar to many in this fi eld created by the Society more than a decade ago.
SUT will once again be presenting a number of special awards at Catch the Next Wave, on the eve of Oceanology International. Amongst these are the Alan Greig Memorial Prize which is awarded to an individual who is judged to have made an outstanding contribution to the development of commercial operational oceanography; and the Bob Barton Memorial Award that recognises excellence in writing and reporting on marine science, engineering and technology by a young journalist.
The Society has always played an active role in encouraging students to attend Oceanology International and this year we expect to see students from more universities and represent more disciplines than ever before. We look forward to welcoming them not only to the show, but to what we hope will be a long and fruitful relationship with the vital world of marine science and ocean technology.
Everyone attending Oceanology International 2010 can be guaranteed a warm welcome on our stand, number L650. Whatever your role during these exciting three days, I wish you a very successful and enjoyable time.
Bob Allwood, Chief Executive IMarEST
Oceanology International is highly relevant to our 15,000 members around the globe – every one of the conference streams has relevance to large numbers of them, time spent in the sessions will prove invaluable. The exhibition and networking events provide a marvellous occasion for meeting our Marine Partners, members, and potential
members. We are once again delighted to be totally involved in the Careers Day programme. New entrants are the lifeblood of the industry and we look forward to enthusing that all-important next generation of marine engineers, scientists and technologists about the opportunities lying in wait for them.
David Loosley, Chief Executive IMCA
The biennial arrival of Oceanology International at the ExCeL Centre provides a perfect opportunity to show case our challenging industry and measure innovation since the last event. This year is as exciting as ever with a huge range

D GRAPHIC SOCIETY Oceanology International provides an ideal opportunity for the staff and Board of The Hydrographic Society UK to meet up with a signifi cant proportion of our membership both at our stand (H720) and at our AGM being held in association with the event. This contact enables us to gain a better understanding of what the members want from the Society and
how we can best serve their interests whilst also enabling them to catch up with old friends and make new acquaintances. Oceanology International is also the perfect opportunity for us to meet with and offer advice to students and young people about to embark on a career in hydrographic surveying.

The Society of Maritime Industries (SMI) is delighted to be once again associated with Oceanology International which brings together one of the largest international gatherings of industry and academia from the marine science community. The Society’s member companies are identifi ed on the fl oor of the exhibition by the SMI logo and on the exhibition fl oor plan. Our members’ displays will demonstrate the vibrancy
of the industry in continuing to develop leading edge technology to meet the global challenges facing both academic and commercial institutions.
Once again we will be undertaking the AMSI business trends survey of the marine science and technology industry which if previous surveys are to go by demonstrate an industry going from strength to strength in spite of the global uncertainty. Also, on the eve of the show we will be presenting the AMSI Business Person of the Year Award at a special awards ceremony at the Oceanology International conference Catch the Next Wave workshop, on 12th March. This award, which is given annually, recognises individuals who have contributed most to the business of the marine science and technology sector in the UK.
I trust you will enjoy the show and look forward to seeing you on the Society’s stand (B570) where a warm welcome awaits!
