Seawork visitors were able to see the latest developments within the business and across the industry. A key talking point with customers this year was the recently announced partnership with Ocenco to replace thousands of M-20.2 EEBDs that are reaching the end of their service life over the next 12 months. Many of these products will expire in 2017, and we would advise all customers ordering replacements to do so as soon as possible rather than facing a last minute rush next year.
Central to this year’s offering on the stand was the introduction of the recently acquired Survival Craft Inspectorate to the group, a manufacturer and service provider of lifeboats, fast rescue craft and associated products such as release hooks and davits. The business is now fully integrated into the group as Survitec Survival Craft, providing customers with a greater choice of products across a number of key geographical offshore and marine markets.

Ross Wilkinson, Managing Director of the Group’s UK Services and Distribution said: “Seawork 2016 was a great success this year. It was good to see some familiar faces in Southampton and keep everyone up to date with our new products and innovative safety solutions. The new Crewsaver Workvest Lifejacket range was very well received with the new 3D Fusion fit technology. With a growing Wind Energy Industry in the UK, we are also well placed to support our customers with our latest EASA & MED compliant 1000 series wind farm immersion suit and critical safety support services.”
