The 29th International Conference on Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering (OMAE 2010) will be held at the Grand Hyatt, Shanghai,, in China from June 6th to June 11th, 2010.
OMAE 2010 is the ideal forum for researchers, engineers, managers, technicians and students from the scientific and industrial communities from around the world to meet and present advances in technology and its scientific support; to exchange ideas and experiences whilst promoting technological progress and its application in industry; and to promote international cooperation in ocean, offshore and arctic engineering.
Following on the tradition of excellence of previous OMAE conferences, more than 700 technical papers organized into eight regular Symposia are planned for presentation and will be complemented by two Special Symposia:
- SYMP 1 Offshore Technology
- SYMP 2 Structures, Safety and Reliability
- SYMP 3 Materials Technology
- SYMP 4 Pipeline and Riser Technology
- SYMP 5 Ocean Space Utilization
- SYMP 6 Ocean Engineering
- SYMP 7 Polar and Arctic Sciences and Technology
- SYMP 8 CFD and VIV
- SYMP 9 Ocean Renewable Energy
- SYMP 10 Offshore Geotechnics
- SYMP 11 T. Francis Ogilvie Symposium on Marine Hydrodynamics and Fluid Mechanics
- SYMP 12 Alaa E. Mansour Symposium on Ship and Offshore Structural Design
OMAE 2010 is organized by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering (OOAE) Division of the International Petroleum Technology Institute (IPTI), and the Shanghai Jiao Tong University. OMAE 2010 is sponsored by various professional associations of many countries.

When talking about the WindFloat, I am seeing in people a real change in attitude towards renewables, a concrete realization that everyone needs to do his/her part, in their skill set areas. It's a grass root movement and we need not only to encourage it but to feed it as well. As a great public speaker once say, do not ask what your government can do for you in these times of recession, but rather what you can do for your planet!. I am glad to see that people are starting to understand what a carbon footprint is.
It's also good to see Christian's face on the web news.

Autodesk partners with MI&T
This suite of tools which include Autocad Mechanical 2010, Autodesk Inventor professional 2010, Showcase professional 2010, and many more utilities, will help us tremendously in the work that we are doing in the Offshore renewable sector, and we are very thankful to our new partners at Autodesk!

ABS runs the HAZID on the WindFloat
The HAZID workshop was run very professionally, and no showstoppers were identified (no X in the red zone of the matrix), for those of you familiar with the process.
This exercise was the first step in our collaboration with ABS on this project. The WindFloat hull is a semi-submersible and ABS has the experience and the knowledge base to make sure we cross all our T's and dot all our I's. Their help on this project is extremely valuable.

CNN.com features the SeaStead!
Congratulations to Patri, Wayne, and the rest of the Seastead institute for leading this fun and interesting project.
You can find more on what we have done for them in their Engineering page.
Socyberty.com has a very cool article on the seaStead as well, check out the article... Wendy's best rendering are on it!.
