Overview

The Society for Underwater Technology (SUT) is the pre-eminent learned society concerned with all sectors  where technology is being used under the water. These range from deepwater oil and gas to marine renewable energy and other subsea resources via underwater science and archaeology. The SUT's Council is conscious that it is important to recognise that the subsea/offshore industry is not insular and that there is a relationship with the insurance, financial and commercial sectors. It was proposed to hold an evening meeting at a central venue to present an overview of the subsea industry to an audience from these sectors and disseminate our experience.

The evening meeting was designed to present an overview of the subsea industry to an audience from these sectors and disseminate our experience and identify and discuss key issues, especially where legislation will have an impact.

The chairman for the evening was Brian Jones, Associate of London Offshore Consultants, who is a SUT accredited subsea engineer with extensive experience and knowledge of the subsea sector.
