Searchwise Limited

They will be showing their unique way of cutting steel using 'Petrogen', a method of oxygen and petrol vapour creating a cutting torch technique. This process is vastly safer than Oxyacet and Oxypropane. Visit the quayside to learn more about this new method!

HMS BLAZER IS AT SEAWORK

This year is the second time the Royal Navy will be visiting the show and HMS Blazer is planned to be secured on the pontoon berth.  She is a 54 ton, 21 metre Training and Patrol Craft of the Archer Class, with a crew of 5. She will be open to visitors at the exhibition.

Not only is she visiting on behalf of the Royal Navy, but in addition she can provide a show case for companies who have equipment installed on board. It is also intended for her to conduct short 20 / 30 minute sea experience cruises around the Southampton Docks during the daytime, and the intention is for these to depart every hour from 10:00 until 16:00 except for 13:00. She can carry a maximum of 20 visitors on each trip. If you wish to visit the ship during the exhibition for one of the voyages, please go to HMS Blazer by five minutes to the hour. If you wish to look around the vessel or meet the crew, please go to the ship between half past and five minutes to each hour.

She will also be taking the students visiting the Maritime Training and Careers Pavilion on short harbour tours including a full tour of the boat so that they can get to see the advanced technology on board.

If there are companies exhibiting who have portable equipment such as EO devices, and wish to demonstrate these using the ship as a platform, and possibly with a link to their stand, please contact Captain Stephen Taylor (dandstayl@aol.com or on 01730 821661).
