From third-party vessel intrusions to the challenges of maintaining position near fixed structures, understanding these risks is essential for safe and effective offshore operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This session will explore the key risk factors affecting offshore wind activities &#8211; including dynamic positioning (DP) challenges, common collision scenarios, and lessons from real incidents. We\u2019ll also discuss mitigation strategies and recommendations to improve navigational safety across offshore wind projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The technical presentation will be followed by a Q&amp;A and a summary of last month\u2019s high-value maritime case reports, which will only be presented to attendees in the room.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When:<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Thursday 17th July, 9:30 AM UK time<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Where:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul
