BUMPER YEAR JULY 9 2013
Seawork 2013 attracted record numbers of commercial marine professionals with over 7,300 visitors this year, a 6% increase on 2012.
Visitors to the exhibition held at the ABP Port of Southampton from June 25 to 27 were drawn in by the lure of new products, new vessels on the pontoons, demonstrations on-the-water and the conference papers from organisations including the Ministry of Defence, the Maritime & Coastguard Agency and the Navitus Bay Wind Park development.
Highlights of Seawork 2013 included: the sale of three vessels by Netherlands based Damen Shipyards Gorinchem, including a 27m Shoalbuster off the pontoons; the sale of a multi-role, road transportable workboat by Meercat Workboats of the UK to a Tasmanian fish farm and the announcement by the UK's Ocean Safety of Southampton of the agreement to replace all the liferafts used by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution.
The dates for
Seawork 2014 have been confirmed as Tuesday 10 to Thursday 12 June.
