Exhibitors Gearing Up for Seawork

Europe’s largest commercial marine and workboat exhibition, Seawork International, will opens its doors in less than two months’ time on 16 June. The event will be home to 550 exhibitors, 70 vessels, promoting a wide range of products and services covering all aspects of the maritime sector, to over 7,500 attendees.

Damen will be taking the ‘Vessels Afloat’ area of Seawork to a new level this year by building and exhibiting on its very own 41x13m pontoon. Damen’s Casper Vermeulen comments: “The vessels berthed on Seawork’s floating walkway [are] an excellent way for clients to get to know Damen products like Twin Axe Fast Crew Suppliers and Multi Cat workboats and of course, we’ll also be standing on one of Damen’s own pontoon and barge models.”

A brand new marine propulsion system that its makers claim can dramatically cut operating costs – while producing more thrust with less noise and vibration will be revealed at Seawork by German giant, Voith.

The National Workboat Association is joining forces with the International Jack-Up Barge Operators Association to produce a focus on Safety in a seminar being held in the Seawork Conference.

Seawork’s free-to-attend two-day conference, which is held on-site, will deliver an absorbing programme of sessions embracing technical discussions, industry updates and emerging hot topics.

Sessions include: Meet the Buyer – Navitus Bay & Rampion, Crew Transfer Vessels, Hybrid Systems for Small Craft to 70’, Flood Defences, and Collaborating with Research Centres and Universities.

Nominations are rolling in for the Seawork Innovations Showcase, whereby cutting edge technology and new products are revealed, as well as the Lifetime Achievement Award, and Maritime Professional of the Year Award, all of which culminate in an Award Ceremony hosted by champion power-boater, Shelley Jory, on Tuesday 16 June.
