This international site investigation conference, organised by the Offshore Site Investigation and Geotechnics (OSIG) Committee of the Society for Underwater Technology, is the fifth in a series started by SUT in 1978. The last quarter of a century has seen dramatic changes in the technologies, areas and water depths in which we work, and the speed with which projects move from conception to implementation. Moving into the 21st century we have seen a new focus on sustainability issues at global and local levels. Sustainability has implications for the natural environment, resource and energy management, and on the economic survival of complete industries, as well as companies and individuals. Engineers and scientists need to focus on new ways of working, increasing their effectiveness and breadth of thinking to ensure that projects meet the triple requirements of economic efficiency, environmental protection and social acceptability. To do this we need to be both more innovative and diverse in our activities. The theme for this fifth conference was, therefore, Diversity and Sustainability with over 30 papers encompassing the widest possible range of geographic, technological and innovative projects.

Soft cover. Condition: New. 48 pages. The Offshore Site Investigation and Geotechnics (OSIG) Group of the SUT is pleased to announce its Guidance Notes for the Planning and Execution of Geophysical and Geotechnical Ground Investigations for Offshore Renewable Energy Developments. The past few years have seen a proliferation of offshore renewable energy projects including wind, wave and tidal developments. Some of the more significant risks that the developers of such projects face are the hazards and uncertainties that ground conditions present to project development, design, construction and operation. The impact of these risks can be exacerbated by the increasing size of offshore renewable developments.

This report covers the findings of a Trade Mission sponsored by the Society for Underwater Technology (SUT) through the International Technology Service (ITS) of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). This Mission was concerned with finding the present state and future plans in Korea and Japan of both the oceanographic information and underwater robotics industries, the latter including remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). The Mission took place in June with four working days spent in the Republic of Korea, and then five working days in Japan. Government departments, Government research institutes, universities and industry were visited where comprehensive briefings were given, questions answered and tours of the facilities provided. This report sets out the findings, in which the team members have tried to assess the strengths, weaknesses of the two countries in their areas of interest, to assess the opportunities for UK industry and to indicate potential threats to UK industry from these countries. The busy reader will get the gist of the report from the Executive Summary, amplified by the Analysis section in the country of interest. However, to those who do not have experience of either country but have a serious interest in doing business there, the cultural and economic background sections of the report are thoroughly recommended, as are the comprehensive annexes on ROVs and AUVs.

Soft cover. Condition: New. 2nd Edition. 78pp : 21 cm. This is the first update to the pioneering The Operation of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles, Volume One: Recommended Code of Practice, published in 2000. Since then, a great deal of experience has been gained in the operation of these vehicles, and related matters such as insurance and the legal aspects informs this update. Since any AUV will spend time on the surface, the ambit of this code has been extended to include this, and the vehicles are now classified as autonomous marine vehicles (AMV). It is intended that this code will be widely taken up by the industry, and the relevant parts will eventually be incorporated in international maritime law. This AMV CoP has been written as a voluntary code that the SUT endorses for adoption by the AMV community. It is a non legal document which encapsulates the combined experience of the members of the AUVLWG, spanning most if not all aspects of civil and military AMVs and should be regarded as a guide, based on best practice, to the issues to be considered in the design, build, and operation of an AMV. The code is primarily aimed at the users, designers, researchers, and manufacturers of AMV systems in the United Kingdom. Though the CoP is focused on the UK, it is believed by both the AUVLWG and the SUT that it could be used as a basis of a codified procedure to be adopted by the international AMV community.

Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. 48 : illustrations, maps ; 30 cm. This SUT publication, produced by the Society s Autonomous Underwater Vehicles Legal Working Group, provides the AUV community with a Code of Practice for use and voluntary adoption as a community standard. The concept of AUVs has been in evidence for at least 20 years with a wide range of operating capabilities and technical solutions. However, the safety and legal framework for their use has yet to be properly formulated. The wide and everyday use of the technology is still relatively immature as an established part of the underwater marine technology scene. Early AUV deployment and research, as would be expected, has its roots in the military maritime operational requirement, with major maritime powers such as the United States and Russia being examples of leading developers of an early military AUV capability. However, more recently in the UK both the civil research and industrial communities have developed ocean going AUV capabilities of international repute, examples being Autosub as a research platform and the Marlin vehicle being offered as an industrial AUV platform. AUV development and, more importantly, routine usage is on the increase. This is partly being driven by the costs of ship time incurred when doing routine operations such as pipeline inspection or simple repetitive oceanographic measurements. This growth of AUV usage has been under a loose legal framework and because of current legal status of the technology, this has meant the AUV community has had to be self regulating. This Code is in some way and expression of that self regulatory approach.The Recommended Code of Practice has been produced by the Society s Autonomous Underwater Vehicles Legal Working Group to provide a pertinent reference document for the safe and efficient operation of AUVs.
