This issue’s cover shows the fleur de lys – a symbol of New Orleans since its birth – and beads associated with the Mardi Gras that the city is so famous for.

New Orleans, USA hosted the nineteenth IMCA annual seminar from 9-10 November, with its theme on The future of marine and subsea operations attracting over 340 delegates. Endorsed by the Offshore Support Journal, IADC, OGP, MTS dynamic positioning committee, API, ADC International, OCIMF and OOC, there was a range of presentations, workshops, social events and an exhibition with stands from 19 different companies. Hugh Williams welcomed delegates before Alan Allred of EMAS – Chairman, IMCA Central & North America Section – introduced the keynote speakers: IMCA President Andy Woolgar of Subsea 7, Mike Casey of Chevron E&P, Randall Luthi of the National Oceans Industries Association, Erik Milito of the American Petroleum Institute and Secretary Scott Angelle from the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR), who all spoke on this year’s theme and were enthusiastically greeted by the delegates. The morning plenary session included presentations on deep ocean seafloor extraction, a new reeling method for a state of the art multi-purpose vessel and better workability through DSV integration. The seminar then split into three parallel sessions on Marine, Diving and ROV & Survey. Presentations were given at all three followed by technical workshops covering blackout recovery for DP vessels, ROV installation, working in Arctic conditions, lifeboats and security issues. The day was pleasantly concluded with dinner on board the Steamboat Natchez while cruising down the Mississippi river. Delegates sampled the delicious local cuisine and viewed the steamboat’s engine room. Day two started with a keynote note address by Lars Herbst from the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) with Bruce Gresham, Heerema Marine Contractors – Vice-Chairman, IMCA Central & North America Section – introducing a plenary session. This included three presentations covering the use of video games in the offshore industry, marine accidents and their investigation, and the impact of fatigue on ships’ watchkeeping officers. The technical session again split into three sections and included presentations in Marine, Diving and ROV & Survey. A final plenary session followed with two presentations, one covering process safety and the other the application of STCW 2010 and the Maritime Labour Convention 2006 to the offshore sector. The final workshop sessions covered the topics of the pitfalls of position references, the MLC and its impact on marine contractors, the diving industry for the 21st century, process safety and this year’s delegates’ choice on vessel assurance. The workshop sessions and seminar were summarised by Hugh Williams who thanked all speakers, chairmen, attendees and staff involved in the seminar. The seminar was concluded with a lively drinks and buffet reception at Audubon Nature Institute, Aquarium of the Americas. A CD of all presentations and summaries is being prepared and will be sent to all members and delegates in due course. PB

She supports the running of and Kris Chambers our internationally recognised diving certification schemes that include IMCA certified diving supervisors and life support technicians. Meeta works with Genine – the Certification Scheme Co-ordinator – and assists with various aspects of the scheme including invoicing, marking exam papers, and issuing results and certificates. Meeta graduated with a BA (Hons) in Business and Politics and studied for an MSc in Human Resource Management and Organisational Analysis at the University of London. She has experience in human resources from working at a London hotel. KG Our two diving technical advisers, Paul Evans and Kris Chambers, have left the secretariat. We are grateful to Pete Fougere – MTS Fellow Paul for his contribution to the work programme over the Pete Fougere of Transocean was honoured as a Fellow of the last four years, his breadth of experience in the offshore Marine Technology Society at the recent Oceans conference construction and subsea sector and his work on the in Hawaii, USA. The designation of MTS Fellow is one of the assessment of applications from contractors for diving highest MTS accolades an individual can achieve. Since 1975, division membership, which has grown by 40 members in this title has been awarded to MTS members who have made his time. Kris’s one year engagement also focused on the outstanding contributions to the advancement of the Society’s diving work programme and culminated in the issue of objectives and who have distinguished accomplishments IMCA D 003 Rev. 1 – Guidelines for oxy-arc cutting. We wish and experience in their professional fields. This is a well Paul and Kris all the best for the future. HW deserved award and IMCA is pleased to congratulate Pete. He has served on and been Vice-Chairman of IMCA’s Marine Division Management Committee for a number of years, furthering IMCA’s work programme, supporting IOMOOF our annual seminar and promoting the memorandum IMCA has helped establish a new forum of international of understanding between MTS and IMCA (reported in associations involved in offshore marine operations to discuss the regional news section of Making Waves 56).

JB as a member of the Search 4 core activities Annual Safety Statistics Each year IMCA produces a report of safety statistics supplied by members, covering fatalities and injuries, which for many years have provided a useful insight into the health, safety and environment performance of the industry. These statistics record the safety performance of IMCA contractor members each year, enabling IMCA members to benchmark their performance. Last year, statistics were provided by 172 companies and organisations, representing roughly half the marine contractor membership in January 2011. As the number of contributors rises each year, IMCA’s safety statistics become a more authoritative picture of safety in the offshore workplace. We would like to encourage every contractor member to take part in this important exercise in 2012, welcoming both contractors who have previously contributed statistics and contractor members who have not yet taken part. IMCA will circulate a letter to the SEL representatives of every contractor member in January 2012, inviting the submission of statistics on an Excel template that can be completed in less than 15 minutes. Instructions will be available, but IMCA members are asked to send information from which the usual lagging indicators (TRIR, LTIFR and FAR) can be calculated, as well as information for calculating a number of leading indicators, such as reporting activity level (RAL) and safety observation frequency rate (SOFR). Additionally, members are asked for basic information on causes of LTIs and any fatalities. This information has proved very useful in directing the work programme of the SEL committee, which has suggested that members also contribute information about numbers and types of near miss incidents. All information received is treated in the strictest confidence. If members have any concerns or questions regarding the IMCA safety statistics programme, please contact [email protected] Safety Key IMCA Publications Translated Adviser into Portuguese and Spanish Eight key IMCA publications have been translated into both South American Portuguese Logbook and Spanish, reflecting the increasing internationalisation of IMCA and the growing number IMCA’s range of logbooks of members working in Central and South America.

ROV Workshop at Oceanology International 2012

IMCA will once again be holding a half day workshop during Oceanology International on Wednesday 14 March 2012 at the ExCeL Conference & Exhibition Centre, London. The theme for the event will be the diverse role of the ROV simulator. The modern ROV simulator is a very sophisticated piece of equipment and is used extensively for training of personnel, both offshore and onshore. Simulators are increasingly being used for other applications including project modelling, tooling interfacing and accident investigation. The workshop’s aim is to present and discuss current and future ROV simulation technology and will consist of five presentations followed by a workshop session. A call for papers has been sent to all ROV members. PB
