See you there!
Date: Wednesday 1st November 2023
Time: 13:00 – 17:00
Cost: Free
Location: National Subsea Centre, 3 International Avenue, Dyce, Aberdeen, AB21 0BH
Join us on Wednesday 1st November as our Anchor Partner, SeaFlo, hosts an engaging and informative event for those with a particular interest in Underwater Engineering and Technology. This is the ideal opportunity for individuals with a qualification in the field of Subsea Engineering, Marine Technology/Science or related disciplines.
The event is being supported by the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST) and we look forward to welcoming Hector Sewell and Sam Yorke of IMarEST to share their experience and knowledge.
In addition, attendees will hear from SeaFlo Founder and Operations Director, Charlie Reith. With an extensive background in Subsea Engineering and Marine Technology, Charlie will give an overview of SeaFlo and discuss the future of marine operations and why it is heavily intertwined with digitalisation
The event is also an excellent opportunity to discover more about the career opportunities available at SeaFlo and how to get involved in the collaborative ADT-LAB Project, an interesting evolution of intelligent digital twin data.
This event is free to attend and a selection of refreshments will be provided. There is ample free parking at the NSC and excellent public transport links nearby.

Why Subsea Industry data matters for COP28
The Nippon Foundation-GEBCO Seabed 2030 project is a global initiative to map 100% of the world’s seabed by 2030
The ocean is the heart of our planet; feeds us, regulates our climate, and generate most of the oxygen we breathe, it covers 70% of the planet and provides 97% of the worlds water resources as well as jobs, livelihoods and economic development. And yet we know comparatively little about it …
To complete the global subsea map, Seabed 2030 partner Victor Vescovo (of Five Deeps fame) estimates that it requires 185 years of ship time, and around $2.6 billion – not impossible but a challenge. Marine robotic systems will be key to delivering the task, and with constantly improving platforms, sensors, sonars and bandwidth we can expect to see the task made a little easier in future years.
Presentations – click here to watch the presentations
Seabed 2030 is a UN Ocean Decade initiative to map 100% of the seafloor – three-quarters of the global ocean floor is unmapped to modern standards, especially in the southern hemisphere, and without good maps the tasks of ocean modeling, geohazard prediction, understanding global heating and managing human use of natural resources is made more difficult, with less certainty in results and less reliable future predictions.
Recognising the importance of a wholly mapped ocean to climate change mitigation, ocean and coastal resilience, and a sustainable blue economy, Fugro has been leading private-sector support for The Nippon Foundation-GEBCO Seabed 2030 Project (Seabed 2030) since its early planning stages.
What are the challenges in the Middle East? – Horizon – Abd El Aziz Ghoneim, Horizon
Regional bathymetry and sub-sea geology within the GULF and the challenges it presents to the work in the marine, offshore, and subsea industry directly impacting contract risk and costs of foundations, cable & pipeline laying.

Biomimetics for offshore energy harvesting
Weichao Shi, Newcastle University
Weichao is devoted to tidal energy research, specifically by applied biomimetics marine hydrodynamics technologies trying to provide marine industry with inspiring biomimetic solutions. Previously a PhD student at Newcastle, in 2023 he returned as a Reader in Net Zero Maritime Systems.
Weichao will talk about several aspects of biomimetics applied to tidal turbines and associated foils and propulsors. Expect a mix of innovative CFD and experimental findings!
See https://www.abmhydro.com/ for more information On Weichao’s research group
Biofouling and offshore renewables
Chang Li, Newcastle University
Chang is a researcher in marine hydrodynamics and has a wealth of experimental expertise of Newcastle’s marine research facilities, especially on projects associated to biofouling control and the effect on performance of marine technologies.
Chang will talk about biofouling and the specific challenges to offshore renewable devices, referencing his current work on the MUE-Drive project – a novel tidal energy generator.
Organised by SUT-YES! (Young Engineers & Scientists) Committee

Decarbonising the energy system, Abigail Davies
Decarbonising the energy system is one of the most pressing issues of our time and yet there is a serious lack of data and knowledge about how this is achieved. Abigail presents her PhD work investigating the greenhouse gas emissions from decommissioning and how the results can be used to inform decarbonisation decision making.
Abigail Davies has over 15 years of experience in the oil & gas industry working in various roles in geosciences for operators and supply companies. Having very recently completed her PhD in the quantification of greenhouse gas emissions from decommissioning Abigail joined the Robert Gordon University in September as a lecturer in sustainability. Abigail’s research interests include quantification of GHG emissions from the energy system, including GHG emissions transition pathway mapping, sustainability, circular economy and climate change mitigations.
The Annual Report and Financial Statements of the Society will be provided as a pre-read prior to the meeting on the SUT website.

This webinar is FREE to join but booking is essential.
Join us on the 5th of October at 13:00 for our next webinar to learn about recent developments in offshore hydrogen technology and associated challenges faced by engineers in the transition to renewable energy. The webinar will cover key drivers behind pursuing hydrogen as an innovative energy storage solution in conjunction with offshore renewable energy to provide a scalable off-grid energy solution as part of the Deep Purple Project within TechnipFMC.
Aurora Baardsen has a master’s degree in Ocean Technology from the University of Bergen (Norway). Aurora started as a graduate in TechnipFMC’s New Energies renewable energy department based in Oslo, Norway last year, where she works with a range of green hydrogen projects.
