WARM WELCOME TO UK’S NEW SHIPPING MINISTER Seawork and M&CCE Expo are delighted to welcome Kelly Tolhurst as the new UK Maritime Minister.

Ms Tolhurst was appointed a Member of Parliament (MP) for Rochester and Strood in the May 2015 general election. Her new maritime role is understood to encompass both shipping and ports, including overseeing the project to create up to 10 new ‘Freeports’ for which a 10-week government consultation period has just been launched.

Kelly is no stranger to the marine industry having, in her words, “grown up around my dad’s boatbuilding business” and gone on to be a marine surveyor and director of a UK marine and industrial coatings company.

Maritime organisations have widely welcomed the appointment, including the British Ports Association chief executive Richard Ballantyne who said “Now is a pivotal time to take on the brief of maritime minister, with the current consultation on Freeports. Post-Brexit tradefacilitation is also high on the agenda, as well as sustainability and port connectivity.”

Andrew Webster, CEO of Mercator Media, comments “We enjoyed an excellent relationship with the previous Maritime Minister who attended the exhibition twice to meet with key leaders in the commercial marine industry and to offer important insights into the Government’s

8 WorkFloat on the move

Toby Budd, founder and Managing Director of UK company, WorkFloat was delighted to win the overall ‘Spirit of Innovation’ Award at the 2019 European Commercial Marine Awards (ECMAs), sponsored by A-Plan Marine Insurance.

WorkFloat 'folds' so it can be towed behind a 4x4 on the road or slide into a standard shipping container.

Once afloat the 8m x 5m 'mini multicat' can lift, pull and carry an impressive deadweight and has a wide range of commercial applications.

Seawork news team caught up with Toby Budd after all the excitement of winning the Award...

8 How long has your company been in existence?

Since January 2019.

8 Tell us more about the development of the WorkFloat platform It's going really well, we are launching soon.

8 What was the biggest challenge is getting WorkFloat to market?

It’s all been a challenge - starting a company, raising investment, legals, accounts …. that said I have loved every minute and now we are moving from a startup into sales it’s a really exciting time.

8 Who are the key people in your company who worked on WorkFloat?

My investors Jack Gifford, the Naval Architect and Danny, the fabricator 8 How has the industry received WorkFloat?

It could not have been better, we are involved in a UK demo tour to show people WorkFloat in action 8 What’s next for your company?

The big UK demo tour, and then shortly after sales and we move into production on both models.

8 Will you be entering the 2020 European Commercial Marine Awards?

Yes, we have a new modular pontoon system we have just filed a patent on. It has structure built into it and a tough wooden deck. As well as being modular and extremely versatile it is also very competitively priced. We will be bringing both products to Seawork and have booked a large on-water berth. We are looking forward to officially launching the new pontoon system at the exhibition.

Life after winning the Young Person’s Development award Eighteen-year old Lauren Hounsome won the Young Person’s Development award. She is now a BP engineering cadet, studying at South Shields Marine School.

Lauren is well into her foundation degree but found time to give us an update on her progress…

“I am in phase one of my degree and am just about to go off to sea at the end of January. My first ship is a crude oil tanker. It’s currently in America but I have been asked to get an Australian visa. I will be at sea for four months.”

‘‘

We were impressed with Lauren’s dedication and commitment to developing both her career and education within the maritime industry Lauren’s role on board will be as engineer cadet and she “will help out with the “nitty gritty” jobs – cleaning, servicing, working with the second engineer.”

Her training at college is giving her the basic knowledge required to be able to go to sea with much of her time spent

being taught the engineering background so that she can then apply it when at sea.

Lauren’s second sea phase will be for nine months, all part of her three-year course. Lauren tells us that her course is rated as one of the “most difficult foundation degrees in the UK” and she ruefully admits that “it’s definitely lived up to it”.

But Lauren also says she is loving it and would recommend it to anyone.

Happily, Lauren is back in time for Seawork and will be joining us for this year’s Award ceremony.

LAURA’S PRIZE OF £850 BOUGHT… A new “Mac” laptop to help with her many assignments and paying for her accommodation bond at college.

Laura says “it definitely helped towards my future career. It relieved the stress a little; it’s a very stressful time moving away from family to go and study.”

ENTERING THE AWARD 8 Any young person, aged 16 – 25, currently studying for, or beginning, a career in the Maritime Industry can enter. Entry is by short informal video, between 1 minute and 3 minutes long accompanied by a written paragraph on how the bursary will be spent and how it would help to further the Young Person’s career.

Applications can be completed online at www.seawork.com/ypda.

Seawork and M&CCE Expo 2020 will shine the spotlight on the vast range of job and career opportunities in the commercial marine industry.

Thursday 11 June, the final exhibition day, is designated Maritime Skills Day. It will feature exciting new initiatives such as a commercial marine “Reality Chat” for younger visitors, a Skills “Question Time” style forum and careers networking.

MARITIME SKILLS COMMISSION MAKING PROGRESS The Maritime Skills Commission (MSC) is now up and running. The Department of Transport initiative aims to ‘future proof training’ for the 220,100 people working in the sector, including for the 27,000 employed at ports around the country.

Professor Graham Baldwin has recently been appointed to lead the Commission. The MSC will receive £300,000 in pump prime funding for the 2019-20 financial year.

Jobs in Maritime Ltd, a leading global maritime job site and recruitment company, will be at the centre of the exhibition’s Training and Careers Hub, the dedicated area for those looking to develop skills and learning.

Specialising in seagoing and shoreside careers Jobs in Maritime will be exhibiting alongside its training partner, the National Maritime Training Centre. It will be showcasing the latest marine training opportunities.

Twenty-five-year-old Simon Cross is aiming to be a design engineer. He studied mechanical engineering at Birmingham University and was familiar with Goodchild Marine, as both his father and grandfather had previously worked in the marine industry.

“I work with customers to design, research and develop their vessels. I also have to rethink design elements to make them suitable for transport. I’m currently redesigning our Man Overboard Platform to streamline the process.”

“I didn’t originally have myself down as a design engineer when I first left university, but my chartership is not only a great opportunity for myself, but it also raises the profile of the company and promotes the many opportunities they offer.”

REFORMS TO APPRENTICESHIP PROVISION NOW Apprenticeship models are flourshing across the UK, says ICE Vice President for Regions Emer Murnaghan.

Apprentice vacancies are now readily advertised in ‘early careers’ sections on employers’ websites. An apprenticeship is widely accepted as a real and flourishing alternative training/study route into the profession.

The five ICE-accredited Trailblazer programmes in England had just over 1,000 starts in 2018/19 compared to the 289 in the

previous year. 600 were for civil engineering degree-level programmes.

‘Earn while you learn’ apprenticeship models offered across the UK essentially all involve 80% workplace and 20% off-the-job training, the latter usually provided by a college or a university. This mix provides the apprentice with opportunities to apply learning, work on live projects and to share problems and experiences with peers and more experienced colleagues The arrangement suits the employer too,

NEW DISTRIBUTION, NEW ECO An eco-friendly telehandler is now available in the UK, thanks to new M&CCE Expo exhibitor GGR Group. GGR Group is the exclusive UK dealer for the Eco Telehandler and has taken delivery of the the first three models in the UK of the Faresin 6.26 Full Electric Telehandler, designed and manufactured by Italian company Faresin Industries.

Featuring a lifting capacity of 2.6t, this innovative, ecofriendly telehandler is powered by a lithium battery.

The standard 300Ah battery has a battery life of up to 6

hours (depending on use) and a recharge time of 3h 45mins using the standard external three-phase charger. This can be reduced to 1.5h by using the optional external fast charger.

Graeme Riley, CEO of GGR Group commented “We are pleased to be the first to bring yet another exclusive product to the UK market. The introduction of this product is a very exciting prospect for the GGR team. Not only does it allow us to extend our expertise to the wider materials handling market, but it gives us a new avenue for growth”.

CILT(UK) in new partnership with M&CCE Expo The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT(UK)) is to partner with M&CCE Expo (Marine & Coastal Civil Engineering Expo) which will be held 9-11 June 2020 in Southampton UK. CILT(UK) is the membership organisation for professionals leading supply chain operations for the movement of goods and people.

First established in 1919, CILT in the UK is a registered charity and part of the CILT international family with over 33,000 members in countries across the world.

Members of the Institute are involved in the management and design of infrastructure, systems, processes and information flows, and in the creation, management and continuous improvement of effective organisations. CILT’s Ports, Maritime and Waterways Forum (PMW Forum) aims to cover the

interests of all those involved in waterborne transport both domestically and internationally.

Whilst being three very different areas within logistics, Ports, Maritime and Waterways are all vital elements of the supply chain; often overlooked in general logistics, without them most supply chains would not function.

The PMW Forum looks at the holistic overview of how these sectors operate and interact with each other; including freight, trade, port, operations, passenger, cruise terminals and safety matters.

M&CCE Expo is an opportunity for a company to reach a highly targeted audience of Marine and Coastal Civil Engineering buyers and influencers with direct access to the marine and coastal civil engineering market, its innovations and people.

As a mark of support for the new partnership, M&CCE Expo is offering a preferential rate to CILT(UK) Corporate Members interested in exhibiting alongside the Institute. Call 01329 825335 or email commercialmarine@mercatormedia.com

Bringing real-time 3D Data above the waterline

Focussing on critical above-water, short range construction market applications where imaging and placing objects can be as critical as underwater, Coda Octopus has announced the initial release of its new Echoscope® AIR camera.

The Echoscope® AIR above the waterline capabilities add to placement accuracy and efficiency for operators and project construction teams; giving users an extra level of scene awareness to ensure inspection and monitoring tasks are completed safely and efficiently.

The Echoscope® AIR real-time 3D imaging applications above the waterline complement the use of Echoscope® real-time 3D imaging sonars underwater. Providing the

same real-time volumetric 3D data as the Echoscope allows seamless use of Coda Octopus’ powerful real-time and post-processing software applications (Underwater Survey Explorer and CMS) which have been in use in the construction industry for well over a decade.

The initial focus for Echoscope® AIR is to provide new benefits for a number of key marine construction applications including: 5 Breakwater Construction: The Echoscope® AIR can visualize the movement and track blocks above waterline for the first time. The Echoscope® AIR fully integrated within the CodaOctopus® Construction Monitoring Software (CMS) and is directly interchangeable for the Echoscope. The transition for placement of blocks from below the waterline to above the waterline is seamless and intuitive for even the most inexperienced crane operator.

5 Port, Harbour, and Bridge Inspection: The Echoscope® AIR is also supported in the Underwater Survey Explorer (USE) software allowing short range above water inspection tasks to be executed with the same ease as currently performed with Echoscope underwater. Deliverables from the Echoscope and the AIR can be combined in top end software Underwater Survey Explorer (“commonly referred to as “USE”) for consolidated data output to clients.

M&CCEBRIEFS Big Blue returns Rory Sinclair, Chief Executive, is looking forward to Seawork 2020, "We are delighted to have Seawork as our official event partner for another exciting year. Seawork and its exhibitors really care about the protection of the oceans. This has already been demonstrated by a number of companies providing active support across our non-profit activities." More information on Big Blue Ocean Cleanup, including its latest video can be found at bigblueoceancleanup.org

Daily Keynote business briefings Business areas of particular relevance to the major operators, contractors and many other stakeholders that attend both M&CCE Expo and Seawork are to be addressed by the introduction of a daily Keynote speaker on each of the three days of the two exhibitions.

Keynote speaker Christopher Robert Lloyd is set to address the contemporary issue of Decommissioning and the surrounding commercial opportunities. An associate consultant and project manager at PetroMall, Christopher is currently consulting in the offshore energy space in which decommissioning is playing an increasingly large part.

The daily Keynote talks will take place on the floor of the Seawork and M&CCE exhibitions in a dedicated theatre-style presentation area.

HYBRID PROPULSION CONFERENCE SPONSORED BY Ryan Reilly, Sales & Business Development Manager, for MJR Power & Automation will give the sponsor’s welcome on Thursday 11 June.

EXHIBITOR INFORMATION

EXPOBRIEFS Smoothing the exhibition pathway

SEEKING ATTENTION – BREAKING NEWS Seawork is the place to break news in the commercial marine industry – new plant, equipment or services, demonstrations and press announcements.

The event attracts an audience of over 7,700 influential commercial marine professionals so exhibitors are urged not to miss out on the opportunity to maximise their presence at Seawork.

The easy to access, online Exhibitor manual makes it simple for attending companies and

organisations to upload details of their profile-raising events at Seawork. This enables the press office team to compile a comprehensive media diary which will be promoted across all of the Seawork media channels.

For further information on exhibiting and the online manual call +44 1329 825 335 or email info@seawork.com For press office enquiries +44 1329 825 335 or e-mail press@seawork.com

New caterers build up exhibitors The new catering company for Seawork and M&CCE Expo, Plyvine certainly knows how to reach an exhibitor’s heart. On Monday 8 June, the busiest build-up day for the exhibition, it’s offering heavily discounted food and hot drinks for exhibitors and contractors in the Golden Arrow Marine restaurant on the waterfront.

The official caterers for 2020 will be running the Golden Arrow Marine Restaurant, offering sandwiches and light snacks in the Pacific Restaurant and opening the Guinness Bar for business in the Atlantic Hall.

Plyvine was started in 1980 and has many years of experience in the event catering industry.

It’s proud of its trained, uniformed staff, attention to

detail and use of finest, fresh ingredients. Other popular, independent hot food and vegan caterers will be available in the food court.

Organisers strive to make Seawork and M&CCE Expo two of the easiest exhibitions to attend with an easy to access online Exhibitor manual.

Following feedback some useful amendments have been made to this year’s manual, making it easier to access information, navigate, complete and upload essential information.

Exhibitors will find a wealth of information online including clear descriptions of their stand and services, Health and Safety forms and guidance on completion, a helpful timeline for completion and submission of required forms and an overview of all exhibition services.

A new development for 2020 is the ability for exhibitors to choose and book preferred time slots for build-up and break down, and to print passes. A new software system, Voyage Control, has made this possible, another step in easing potentially stressful times for exhibitors.

SPEED@SEAWORK | Monday 8 June 2020

SPEEDBRIEFS

RAMCO SHOWCASE EX-MOD RHIBS

Expert joins panel Focussing on design, power plant, people and equipment, the Speed@Seawork lunchtime session will feature a panel of experts from the Fast Ops field.

Military Systems Integrator Will Smith who runs Ambex Limited is the first of the experts to be announced.

Will began his career working in the military maritime domain in 1993 as a systems’ engineer, principally involved in the installation and support of navigation, communications and surveillance equipment aboard a fleet of law enforcement vessels, as well as for the Royal Navy.

Latterly, his skills and experience have expanded sufficiently to allow him to provide expert consultancy on a variety of military systems and also expert witness testimony in maritime law enforcement cases.

Ambex is a key provider of integrated Nav Comms and Surveillance systems including in-service support to the UK MoD via BAE Systems and Atlas Elektronik UK Limited.

Ambex also owns and operates a pair of 16 metre tests and trials vessels including a 50 knot very slender vessel (VSV).

Ramco, one of the UK’s largest outlets for quality, used equipment, will be showcasing a selection of Pacific 22 rigid hulled inflatable boats (RHIB’s) at Seawork.

The vessels, manufactured in the UK by Halmatic and designed to withstand the toughest of sea conditions, were deployed by the MoD for a diverse range of operations all around the world including

logistics, counter piracy/narcotics, defence and rescue missions. The Pacific 22 RHIB’s became surplus to requirement when the MoD replaced them with newer models as part of a recent equipment update initiative; implemented to ensure that equipment meets the expanding demands of the MoD’s military operations.

Ramco’s solution provides the MoD with a compliant and cost-effective service that extends the product lifecycle of equipment, reduces waste and promotes the reuse of surplus assets in a sustainable and eco-friendly manner. It also allows buyers within the commercial marine and workboat markets to purchase competitively priced, quality vessels from a credible, military provenance.

Ramco undertakes a thorough refurbishment of each vessel although the surplus vessels have been well maintained during their deployment and are already in great condition.

A FUTURE IN FOILS A highly innovative company based in Lorient (France) is looking for European industrial partners to make an ambitious project a reality. SEAir recently signed a contract with DGA and AID (French Innovation Defence Agency) to finalise a new Flying boat prototype, especially designed for the French Special Forces. With four European nations asking for more details, this project could become the flying boat for the European Special Forces.

With a strong Design and R&D office, SEAir states it can make any boat ‘fly’. The company is able to adapt any hull to accommodate a foiling system (foils, activors, sensors…), and designs foils (carbon composite, steel, aluminium…) to create new prototypes. The SEAir team designs new proven hydro foiling systems in-house and the company’s expert technicians fit the foils at the workshops.

Foiling systems are able to improve operational capacity; SEAir’s foiling system enables increased average speeds in rough seas, better seakeeping and reduces fuel consumption thereby increasing operating range. Enhanced stability reduces the

incidence of injuries and fatigue. Compared with a standard RIB, reduced noise, reduced turbulence, reduced slamming and spray all contribute to significant improvements in crew safety and welfare.

SEAir has already received numerous awards, including three world firsts and has 15 patented systems, including the first foiling RIB. Recent deliveries include the new Beneteau (10m – 5t) with four foils and the Sillinger 7.65 m boat, which has integrated intuitive control systems and are able to beach, to dock, due to retractable/folding and servocontrolled foils.

8 SEAir will show the Sillinger 7.65m boat at this year’s edition of Speed@Seawork 8 June 2020
