​​​Global Underwater Hub will hold its third annual Moorings and Anchors Conference & Workshop in Edinburgh on Thursday, 19 March 2026.  This popular and successful one-day conference will once again bring together those with an interest in subsea moorings and anchor systems for use in the conventional and renewable energy sectors. 
 
Conference Overview 
Featuring both presentations and workshop sessions, the Moorings and Anchors Conference & Workshop aims to explore the key elements of the life cycle of mooring systems.  The format of the day offers opportunities to learn about new developments, discuss current challenges and share knowledge and experiences in an area which is critical as offshore projects in multiple sectors move to ever increasing water depths and the potentially pivotal role that they will play in the success of floating offshore wind. 
 
The sold-out 2025 conference, sponsored by Port of Aberdeen, brought together over 100 senior managers, technical authorities, naval architects, geotechnical engineers, project managers and business development personnel from a range of companies that work across the moorings and anchor systems supply chain.  This included developers, manufacturers, surveyors, installers and maintainers. 
 
The conference programme is currently being finalised and will be published online shortly.
