Over the past 14 years, we have curated a venue to exchange information and identify new trends in innovation, technology and manufacturing. We welcome colleagues and professionals from a worldwide network for three days of networking, technical discussions and business transactions. The MUV Industry understands that competitive engineering is required for long-term growth and the success of underwater intervention and ocean exploration. The industry thrives in extreme ocean environments, and is driven by a proud group that is the Marine Technology Society’s Manned Underwater Vehicles Group (MUV). Advancements by the MUV industry have impacted a number of programs including; space, defense, airborne and subsea initiatives. These technologies harness the physics of underwater propulsion, develop new material fabrication and re-invent energy storage. There are advances with optical cameras for subsea filming and data capture, as well as underwater navigation systems. Today, manned vessels work alongside Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), and Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) to complete successful ocean mission objectives. Due to continued stagnation in the oil and gas industry, challenges abound, but finding the opportunities hidden within challenges is familiar territory for the MUV industry. We will review the latest developments in 2016, into 2017. Our session begins on Tuesday, February 21st at 8:30AM. It includes presentations, regulatory discussions, and a reception and cocktail party at the Marriott Hotel at 5:30pm on Tuesday evening. Of note this year is a series of three presentations on the state of the MUV industry in China, presented by leading engineers at the China Ship Scientific Research Center. Karen Kohanowich from NOAA will review a multi-year study of the MUV industry in the field of research, and continuing years of conversations about Consensus Operating Standards for MUV. Strategic actions to maximize benefits of media attention is a topic discussed by Colleen Hahn, a must-be-there session on Thursday. The MUV annual committee meeting follows. Everyone is in a hurry to leave but I encourage you to participate, share your opinions and help set the direction for future meetings. Whether your business interactions are international or local, business-to-business or business-to- government, MUV is the intersection between engineering, technology advancements and the spirit of human subsea innovation. Thank you to all our dedicated speakers for their time and presentations. Thank you very much for attending and for your participation. Finally, thank you to our generous sponsors and to the Underwater Intervention personnel for making this all possible. I look forward to meeting up with everyone. Don’t forget to visit the show floor. Enjoy the conference and the city of New Orleans, a great place to mingle.

The overview will look at developments in all branches, including international research, tourism activity, leisure and security developments. This will include a summary of submersibles under Classification, operating and in construction, review of the industry trends and regulatory highlights for the year. 9:00-9:30 DSV Shinkai 6500 Update By: Masanobu Yanagitani, JAMSTEC, Japan DSV Shinkai 6500 has been diving for 26 years. Recently, the dive number of times is decreasing for a budgetary cutback. However, JAMSTEC decided to upgrade DSV Shinkai 6500 for equipment improvement. So, this purpose of this report is some topics of DSV Shinkai 6500 update. The first, the annual overhaul began from Nov. 21stabout for 4 months. In this overhaul, the inside layout of a pressure hull will be changed, because of the one-man pilot’s operation test dives and science cruises for 2017. The second, DSV Shinkai 6500 has an underwater navigation system. This system calls shinkai track. This report will introduce some topics of DSV Shinkai 6500 update. 9:30-10:00 Cyclops 1 Expeditions in 2016 By: David Lochridge, Oceangate, USA OceanGate conducted three major expeditions in 2016: to the wreck of the Andrea Doria in Long Island Sound, in Desolation Sound, British Columbia and to the Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary outside of the San Francisco Golden Gate. All of these expeditions used OceanGate’s Mobile Subsea Launch and Recovery Platform (Ms. Lars) to transport and deploy the Cyclops 1 submersible. The system was towed with vessels ranging from a 34’ catamaran to a 120’ Offshore Support Vessel (OSV). David Lochridge will present on the success and challenges of each of these expeditions including the unique mobilization and deployment issues related to operating the system in three very different locations and high sea states. 10:00-10:30 ICTINEU 3 – 2016 Archaeological Expedition in Mediterranean By: Pere Fores, Ictineu Submarines SL After completing certification by DNV-GL and by French Maritime Affairs, the ICTINEU 3 has completed more than 80 dives at sea between 30 and 1.000 meters depth. In October 2016 the ICTINEU 3 was on archaeological expedition in Baix Empordà, 100Km North of Barcelona. The mission was led by the Subaquatic Archaeological Centre of Catalonia, CASC, the Catalan Government agency for underwater archaeology.
