Seawork Grows Into a Second Decade

30 Dec 2007

With its record of year on year growth since the first exhibition in 1998, Seawork International is planning for further expansion in 2008. The conference suites will be moved beyond a dividing wall, ensuring a quieter environment and more relaxed atmosphere. This will also overcome the distracting hum of business activity, which can intrude on conference proceedings. Nearby, a third catering point and bar is being added to serve the southern end of the exhibition hall.

The Seawork 2008 Conference focuses upon pertinent issues affecting vessel operators and builders on a day to day basis. One such topic is Marine Renewable Energy, which covers the vessels and contracts surrounding the installation and maintenance of wave, wind and tidal energy structures.
