The 2012 and 2013 conferences comprehensively explored partnership and business opportunities for global industry in the region and delivered two exceptional agendas for Brazil. Now, after two years in Rio de Janeiro, Offshore Patrol Vessels & Surface Combatants Latin America returns for 2014, in the new location of Cartagena, Colombia.
Officially supported by COTECMAR and the Colombian Navy, the 2014 conference will examine topics intrinsic to the OPV and combat ship market such as shipbuilding capacity, systems design, damage control, program management and operational capability. Latin America continues to be one of the more dynamic naval markets in the world with new OPV procurement projects emerging in Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Uruguay and Mexico. These complement the large maintenance and upgrade requirements within Brazil and Chile.
Colombia is right at the epicentre of this dynamism where, under the Colombian Navy’s 'Orion Plan', 6 OPVs are being built by 2015. What effect will this new class of vessel have on the regional marketplace? Are these the export models of the future?
So, according to Dr. Juan Carlos Pinzón Bueno, Colombian Defence Minister, WHY DO BUSINESS IN COLOMBIA?
Our inaugural OPV Latin America conference responded to demand from the region following the success of our long-standing OPV conference series. Incorporating similar themes to our European, Asian and Middle Eastern events, OPV Latin America 2013 offered a unique perspective on the procurement strategy and operational concepts of key Latin American navies.
Following the success of last year’s event OPV & Surface Combatants Latin America 2014 is the only naval event in South America that provides an honest assessment of how to balance requirements and capability with acquisition and operational costs while sharing combating solutions to the most prevalent security concerns.
In addition to revealing procurement and acquisition strategies and inspecting several fleet renewal and OPV projects, the event will include in-depth technological presentations covering innovative solutions on system integration and capability implementation.
