International Offshore Patrol Vessels - Dublin, Ireland

International Offshore Patrol Vessels, 30 September to 2 October Dublin, Ireland will examine cost-effective solutions for offshore asset protection & enhanced maritime security.

The IQPC International Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPV) conference, now in its ninth year, provides the opportunity to meet face-to-face with military and industry stakeholders from the Middle East, Latin America, Africa, Asia, Europe and North America.

Offshore Asset Protection and Enhanced Maritime Security

The annual event attracts senior navy and coast guard chiefs from around the world to discuss the challenges of maritime policing including piracy, smuggling, search and rescue, pollution monitoring, fisheries protection and EEZ patrol.

The 2014 OPV event is being held in Dublin in association with the Irish Defence Forces (IDF), represented by the Flag Officer Commanding Commodore Hugh Tully of the Irish Naval Service and Rear Admiral Mark Mellet, Deputy Chief of Staff, IDF.

Through assessing platforms and auxiliary technologies, military delegates benefit from a clear understanding of the best path to balancing capability and affordability in choosing platform or a piece of technology that delivers optimum mission effectiveness tailored to their own unique needs.
