Trauthwein, Associate Publisher & Editor of Marine Technology Reporter. Email: [email protected] While subsea technology is an exacting business, publishing tends to be more interpretive, and with that it never ceases to amaze me the direction a particular edition takes. Case in point is this month?s cover story on DOF Brasil, a story which quite literally came out of the blue at the last minute when our writer in Rio, Claudio Paschoa, happened to win some time with a very busy man in Eirik Tørrenssen, Country Manager Brazil, DOF Brasil, who discusses insights on the organization?s pre-salt operations and the challenges of operating in Brazil, starting on page 28.The timing of the article was fortunate, too, as it was hot on the heels of the Offshore Technology Conference in Houston, an event which never ceases to amaze. For anyone doubting the resurgence of the oil and gas business globally, the trek to Houston and the second largest OTC ever would help to quickly dispel those doubts. According to show organizers the event attracted more than 104,000 visitors and nearly 2,800 exhibiting companies, a mammoth event in a state where everything is big. OTC again attracted titans of the industry from around the world, and in the multiple hallways there was more than a fair share of new subsea technology on display. Our coverage of this starts on page 32. Saving the best for last, starting on page 24 we pro le a man that is familiar to most every reader of this publication, AUV industry pioneer Dr. James McFarlane Sr. of International Submarine Engineering. Dr. McFarlane and ISE are synony- mous with the evolution of the AUV, and Tom Peters, a regular contributor to our pages, does an excellent job of gaining insight and perspective on the 78-year-old icon.
