While the axiom that the offshore energy business will undoubtedly rise high again, this provides little solace to companies that must make painful and sharp near term financial and personnel decisions, not to mention the maritime and offshore professionals who are freshly searching for work. For most companies the rise of the energy market has nothing to do with “if” and everything to do with “when.” This month we attack the energy markets from multiple angles, starting with our “Eye on Design” on page 14 which documents the efforts of SSP Offshore to create an innovative crew boat docking tunnel that runs straight through the center of a big round floater, helping to save on costly helicopter crew transport. MARIN in The Netherlands was instrumental in putting the concept to effective test, using CFD, fast-time simulation and intensive bridge simulator testing. Continuing on page 18 is guest columnist Joan Bondareff from Blank Rome who examines the proliferation of renewable energy projects. When one says “offshore renewable energy” initial thoughts immediately turn to offshore wind. But Bondareff looks at the development of wave and tidal power projects, looking at the funding and potential for contribution in the near and long term. Oslo-based contributor William Stoichevski files a pair of reports this month, the first examining the exclusive, high value and infant FLNG market starting on page 36, and the FPSO market on page 42. The latter is of particular interest in tough economic times, as it is a “Guide to Life Extension” of FPSO’s, topical today as it provides the most cost effective means to continue developing offshore oil fields. Starting on page 59 we look at an amazing new heavy lift ship and capability from Dockwise, the Dockwise Vanguard, a unique vessel which has made the transport of massive offshore structures and systems efficient and fast. trauthwein@marinelink.com Editorial Joseph Fonseca - India Claudio Paschoa - Brazil Peter Pospiech - Germany Production Irina Tabakina tabakina@marinelink.com Nicole Ventimiglia nicole@marinelink.com Corporate Staff Mark O’Malley, Public Relations Esther Rothenberger, Accounting Information Technology Vladimir Bibik Emin Tule Subscription Kathleen Hickey k.hickey@marinelink.com Sales Lucia Annunziata annunziata@marinelink.com +1 212 477 6700 Terry Breese breese@marinelink.com +1 561 732 1185 Frank Covella covella@marinelink.com +1 561 732 1659 Mitch Engel engel@marinelink.com +1 561 732 0312 Mike Kozlowski kozlowski@marinelink.com +1 561 733 2477 Dawn Trauthwein dtrauthwein@marinelink.com +1 631 472 2715 Jean Vertucci vertucci@marinelink.com +1 212 477 6700 International Sales Scandinavia Roland Persson roland@orn.nu Orn Marketing AB, Box 184 , S-271 24 Ystad, Sweden t: +46 411-184 00 f: +46 411 105 31 Western Europe Uwe Riemeyer riemeyer@intermediapartners.de t: +49 202 27169 0 f: +49 202 27169 20 United Kingdom Paul Barrett ieaco@aol.com Hallmark House, 25 Downham Road, Ramsden Health, Essex CM11 1PU UK t: +44 1268 711560 m: +44 7778 357722 f: +44 1268 711567 Japan Katsuhiro Ishii amskatsu@dream.com Ace Media Service Inc., 12-6, 4-chome, Nishiike, Adachi-ku, Tokyo 121, Japan t: +81 3 5691 3335 f: +81 3 5691 3336 Korea Jo, Young Sang biscom@biscom.co.kr Business Communications Inc., Rm 1232, Gwanghwamoon Officia Bldg., 163, 1-Ga, Shinmoon-Ro, Jongro-Gu, Seoul, Korea 110-999 t: +82 2 739 7840 f: +82 2 732 3662 Download our App iPhone & Android Check out our other websites: MarineLink.com MaritimeProfessional.com MaritimePropulsion.com MaritimeJobs.com MarineTechnologyNews.com MaritimeEquipment.com MarineElectronics.com YachtingJournal.com MaritimeToday.com Classified Sales t: (212) 477-6700 Founder: John J.
