Email: [email protected] Ocean Business, held early last month in Southampton, England, was yet another strong indication that business is blossom- ing in the subsea sector. For those of you have not yet had the chance to experience Ocean Business, it is a wholly worthy endeavor, an event which seamlessly combines traditional exhibit, high-level conference and on-water technical demonstration. This show, unlike so many others of its kind, seems to serve as a real incubator of business relation- ships and deals. This is an inexact appraisal comprised by personal feedback from exhibitors in the halls, as well as the preponderance of ?grip and grin? photos signifying ?deal done,? many of which can be found in our post-Ocean Business coverage starting on page 36. While there was plentiful news from the Ocean Business hallways again this year, perhaps the biggest headline was that the show itself has been sold to Di- versi ed Business Communications U.K. Much of the Ocean Business success to date is attributable to the hands-on, personal touch of the current show manage- ment, Intelligent Exhibitions and its staff. Only time will tell if the successful formula continues under the guidance of a more corporate management.An outstanding feature of this year?s Southampton event was the large number of companies selling or using unmanned surface vessels (USV) for the purpose of hydrographic survey, the impetus for this months feature on USVs starting on page 24. USVs come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, and each has its own unique signature regarding capability and area of operation. In this edition we fo- cus on  ve speci c systems from  ve separate companies ? from well-established industry veterans to newcomeers ? each with its own unique set of operatational characteristics and capabilities.Credit: Evologics May 20136 MTRMTR #4 (1-17).indd 6MTR #4 (1-17).indd 65/6/2013 2:13:08 PM5/6/2013 2:13:08 PM
