Dundee and Offshore Marine Engineering – an insight into the multiple international business streams of vessel providers and the supply chains upon which they rely

Thursday 20 March 2025, 7.00 pm, Discovery Point

Talk by Professor Norman McLennan, FRICS

Norman’s talk will provide an insight into the energy sector transition as it moves towards more renewable solutions, whilst at the same time ensuring a balanced energy mix. He will give a snapshot of how Dundee supports related industries, looking also at the complex collaborative alliances that are now required across the offshore marine sector, as well as the many different business streams and opportunities that are now available to large offshore construction vessel providers. These include offshore decommissioning, installation of offshore wind farms, transportation and marine casualty work such as salvage and wreck recovery. The talk will provide a unique opportunity for attendees to see video footage of some truly remarkable real-life projects.

This is our annual joint meeting with the Friends of Dundee Heritage Trust. Note that, as it is the Friends’ turn to host the event, it will take place at Discovery Point, Dundee, DD1 4XA.
