Seawork celebrates a decade
When the doors open at Seawork 2007 International on 12 June, the biggest and fastest growing business-to-business trade event for the commercial marine and workboat sectors will notch up its first decade. New developments in 2007 include a much bigger Ship Repair and Ship Building Pavilion, incorporating companies such as MMS Ship Repair and Dry Dock and Buckie Shipyard, MoD ‘meet the buyer’ sessions and a new Tug Conference, organised by ITS to coincide with Seawork, which will bring more than 100 high calibre buyers and decision-makers into the event on Wednesday 13 June. Seawork is supported by numerous associations including the Society of Maritime Industries, the UK and International Harbour Masters and the RNLI.
Marine south East will again this year be supporting the Innovations Showcase and we will have details of how you can enter the Innovation awards in a later issue of email news.
Following the successful Business Advice Centre at last year’s event we will be repeating this service. We will be helping companies make the most of their visit to the show by accessing a range of business support advisors, including international trade, training, business improvement techniques and support from local marine support networks.
New Products, New Vessels and New Projects at Seawork 2007
Seawork is launching a major initiative targeting the port engineers and engineers from the borough councils - those responsible for making the purchasing decisions for the coastal areas, ports and inland waterways they represent. This is to make the visitor profile at Seawork more relevant to marine civil engineering companies and contractors. The UK Harbour Masters will be holding their Annual General Meeting at Seawork once again as will the Association of Chief Police Officers. There will be MoD ‘Meet the Buyer’ sessions for exhibitors who want to promote their products, services and new technologies to the Ministry of Defence.
Seawork Conference
This year’s Conference Programme is certain to provide added value to anyone at Seawork. The highlight of the programme will be a presentation from David Gould, Deputy Chief Executive of the Defence Procurement Agency on Tuesday 12 June. The main themes include a full day of 4 sessions by the MOD devoted to assisting companies to secure MOD business, Renewable Energy, Commercial Fishing, The Environmental Liability Directive, Ship & Port Security and Port Development and Planning.
