Oi20: Set for London in March
. However, if the optimistic reportage of the 1960s feels a world away from the grave environmental and economic portents of today, it should be borne in mind that Oi is not only still with us, but now has more influence than ever as an industry-supporting champion of beneficial ocean science and technology innovations – and that in itself should be cause for celebration.Oi 2020, a special 50th anniversary presentation, will be held in the long-running exhibition and conference’s habitual UK venue, ExCel London, on March 17-19, 2020. Indicative of the franchise’s still snowballing global
L3 ASV to Conduct UK Autonomous Navigation Study
Agency (MCA) and United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO), focusing on the future of marine navigational data and charts. The project is funded by the Department for Transport’s Transport Technology Research Innovation Grant (T-TRIG) and aims to promote early-stage science, engineering or technology innovations with the potential to advance the U.K.’s transport system.L3 ASV’s T-TRIG project will begin by exploring the characteristics of navigational data and charts in terms of what they comprise, their structure and how they are updated.“Current navigational data and charts have
