The inaugural theme speaks that offshore operational safety is not merely a technical concern but a multidimensional imperative that safeguards human lives, protects the environment, ensures regulatory compliance, and preserves investor confidence in the energy sector.
The conference establishes a national platform that encourages a safety culture for offshore operations in
Namibia.
It also seeks to enable effective engagement between multiple stakeholders, advancing offshore safety
standards in Namibia.
Additionally, the conference ensures the adoption of advanced offshore safety legislation, policies, technologies, and practices for safeguarding Namibia’s oil & gas industry.
The multiple stakeholders participating in the conference include regulators, international oil companies, oilfield service providers, safety and maritime experts, legal and policy advisors, training institutions and universities, and local communities and organisations involved in the local and global value chains of the oil & gas industry.
