The main two-day conference at Offshore Patrol Vessels 2010 will provide you with high-level briefings addressing the key issues
affecting OPV acquisitions and cutting-edge ISTAR, weapon system and communications technologies that enable the modern OPV to
meet and exceed demanding capability requirements, whilst remaining within budget. The technology focus will enable a greater depth of
discussion into the latest developments in naval technology delivering multi-mission capabilities, effective C2 systems and employment
of the OPV as a hub, demonstrating how OPVs have become more versatile and adept at tackling current maritime security challenges.
Furthermore expert guest speakers will deliver insightful updates on the major Offshore Patrol Vessel programmes and address
significant factors affecting the operational usage of Offshore Patrol Vessels including anti-piracy, EEZ security, environmental
protection and analysis of key regional security challenges.

NAVANTIA CADIZ SHIPYARD GUIDED ToUR: 30TH SEPTEmbER 2010
To round off the biggest week of the year for the OPV community we offer an
exclusive opportunity to see first hand how warships are built. In conjunction
with Navantia, we have arranged a guided tour of their Cadiz shipyard.
Located in the south of the country, Navantia’s production facilities on the Bay
of Cadiz are the company’s biggest in terms of area (more than a million square
metres). In addition, Navantia’s docks in this area are among the biggest docks
in the world, where ships of up to 500 metres in length are built, and the biggest
gantry crane in Spain is held.
Navantia’s centres in this area specialise in building deep sea patrol boats,
large military vessels, fast patrol boats and special ships. Major recent
programmes at the Navantia shipyard have included:
w Buque de Acción Marítima class for the Spanish Navy
w Caribbean class patrol vessels for the Venezuelan Navy
