Breakfast Networking: Ports & the Subsea Supply Chain


Date: 3rd June

Time: 9am-11am

Venue: Newcastle Hub

 

Join us for a morning of discussion and networking as we explore the evolving role of ports in supporting the UK’s offshore and subsea sectors. As the energy transition accelerates, ports and their supply chains are at the forefront of enabling new infrastructure, innovation and regional growth. This breakfast session brings together key voices to share practical insights, recent developments and emerging opportunities.

 

We’re pleased to welcome Fairhurst, sponsors of the event, who will provide an expert overview of the evolving landscape of marine licensing and what it means for the subsea supply chain. During this session you will hear about the changing regulatory environment, key considerations for developers and contractors and an outline of what businesses need to be aware of as projects move from concept to delivery.

 

We’ll also hear from the Port of Blyth, who will discuss their strategic partnership with neighbouring ports and how this collaboration is strengthening regional capability and competitiveness. 

 

The session will cover recent announcements relating to AR7, the opportunities these developments present and how the Port is actively working with the supply chain to unlock growth and drive investment across the sector.

 

This event offers a valuable opportunity to connect with industry peers, gain insight into developments in the sector and position your organisation for the opportunities ahead.

 

Who should attend? 

Professionals across offshore energy, subsea engineering, port operations, logistics and the wider supply chain who are looking to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving market.
