Following the success of the inaugural event in 2025, Global Underwater Hub will host the 2026 edition of its Offshore Structural Integrity Management Conference on Wednesday, 22 April in Aberdeen.
What will it cover?
In the harsh offshore environment, managing the structural integrity of fixed, floating and subsea structures is a key requirement as owners consider their future, be it to safe and continuous late-life production, re-use for energy transition applications such as carbon capture or preparing for decommissioning and removal.

With the UKCS offshore asset base at a high maturity stage, the technologies and learnings from the conference have strong transferability for global applications.
Highlighting the importance of structural integrity management across a range of fixed, floating and subsea facilities, the event will bring together key industry stakeholders in a format designed to share experiences on challenges encountered, novel methods and technology solutions deployed and emerging technical trends in the industry.
Four sequential themed sessions are planned, drawing on a cross-section of case studies, technology developments and new applications, and each session will be followed by an open-floor Q&A with the presenters.
