Offshore Quotations

Outsourcing was the bogeyman of the '90s. Protectionists portrayed it as an evil that would take American jobs away. Yes, some jobs did go offshore as people feared, but it made the global economic pie grow bigger.

Clients do not expect the infrastructure to be any less reliable just because the service is being delivered from an offshore location; thus, the uptime requirements justify the expense.

Yahoo! had a choice. It chose to provide an e-mail service hosted on servers based inside China, making itself subject to Chinese legal jurisdiction. It didn't have to do that. It could have provided a service hosted offshore only.

Mr. Hill characterizes 69 bills being introduced in the House from the period of Oct. 24, 2004 to June 20, 2005, which received Royal Assent as a skimpy agenda. We've sustained over 40 votes of confidence. We passed legislation to implement the fundamental forms of equalization. We passed legislation on civil marriage. We passed legislation and implemented a new deal for cities, the offshore accords--I mean, that was not a skimpy agenda that we've just gone through and presented to the House. Now, this fall we're going to build on that agenda,

Senator Kennedy and I have talked about this. I think that he has a point when he talks about the importance of having a regulatory framework to review offshore projects in federal waters. Where we differ is that he thinks we should have that regulatory framework in place before any projects proceed. I think that we have, in fact, built that regulatory framework over the course of review of this project.

Senator Kennedy has real environmental and economic concerns, and the federal government continues to lack a national policy and process to guide offshore alternative energy development.

The primary goal is to do ANWR. That remains the primary goal, ... But (opening more) offshore (drilling) is a prospect.

If a state wants to have offshore oil and gas activities, that is another reason for listening to states,

If anything, Katrina has spotlighted the increasing perils of our heavy dependence on oil. There is no prospect whatsoever that opening the Arctic Refuge and protected offshore areas to drilling would reduce the nation's energy supply and price vulnerabilities. Whether it comes from off America's coasts, from Alaska's Arctic via an aging aboveground pipeline, or from the politically unstable Middle East, oil is an increasingly vulnerable energy source. Heavy oil dependence leaves our economy wide open to price and supply shocks.

To ensure safety, the industry has moved employees from some facilities and shut down various offshore production platforms, refineries and pipeline operations in affected areas, ... This will have an impact on petroleum product supplies. With only limited information available at this time we are unable to estimate the extent of the impact.

Market direction likely hinges upon protracted negotiations in China, where offshore suppliers hope to narrow an estimated $35 to $40 per metric ton price gap between delivered prices in China and other major export destinations.

Our labor costs have moved from 18 percent of a part to 2.5 percent. We've watched this eliminate the supposed benefits of taking work overseas and it's allowed us to win work back from offshore competition. Our work orders have increased steadily enough that our work force has attained constant growth. Our employees today have higher levels of job security, receive more advanced training, and are better compensated than ever before. If we hadn't shifted, the work they're doing today would most likely be done overseas.

I support the offshore oil and gas leasing moratoriums that the Bush Administration has continued off coastal states including California and Florida. Now I want to ask the coastal states, the Bush Administration, and Congress to support leasing moratoriums for some ecologically sensitive onshore areas, as well.

Jim and I go back a long way. I was 22 and working on an offshore oil rig, 14 days on and 14 days off, and I shared an apartment with Jim in New York. He was trying to make his way as a musician. I always enjoyed his singing and playing, but I finally figured out how good he really was when I answered the phone one day, and it was Roland White leaving a message for Jim asking him if he was available to play a gig.

I think offshore investors would be looking at the Australian telecommunications market and seeing a stock that is already fully priced compared to its international peers and has sentiment weighing on it, at least for the shorter term.

I think, often with Australian films, if an Australian film has been given the seal of approval by an offshore festival or an offshore release, then it does mean a lot to a local audience.

I think it's reasonable to expect that the proportion of money going offshore will increase, but that's not necessarily a bad thing for the economy because it diversifies our assets, gives the industry more alpha and provides a buffer against all of these current account deficits.

Today's offshore technology allows us to produce more energy with fewer facilities and less impact than ever before.

The amount of oil that can be produced each day can actually be insured. Katrina is forecast to make a more direct hit on those offshore platforms than Ivan.

The explosive growth of the Internet has provided a means for gambling operations to evade existing anti-gambling laws.

I urge you to act here and now to begin to rectify the natural gas supply and demand imbalance. Opening Lease Sale 181 in the Gulf of Mexico is an important step in the right direction.

I live in a coastal state, and I appreciate the need to protect our beaches, but I know this is no threat.

The storm's track at the moment takes it through a different patch of the offshore oil production facilities to Katrina,

This isn't over yet. We'll keep fighting to make sure that this sneaky strategy is stopped in its tracks.

This won't help America break its addiction to oil and reliance on foreign sources of energy.

This is a multipurpose, offshore installation vessel. It has a large loading capacity and is suitable for operations in remote areas, deep waters and high seas,

This is the first time we have worked with Apache and we are delighted that they have chosen Duffy & McGovern modules for this project. The four-man units which Apache has selected for this project still represent one of the most flexible and popular offshore sleeper modules in the North Sea and comply comfortably with new HSE guidelines. As a result these modules make up the bulk of our Aberdeen-based cabin fleet.

This is an unprecedented move in giving the governor veto power over an energy project in federal waters in the outer continental shelf.
