'It felt like boom time,' said METS product manager, Irene Dros. 'It could not have been a better reward for us as we celebrated our 20th anniversary.'

Enjoying the unique METS mix of serious business and social networking, 1,137 exhibitors from 39 countries promoted thousands of marine products. A visitor total of 19,764 against 16,805 for 2006, made for the busiest METS to date.

'Such a significant rise in visitor levels was a triumph and a testament to the attractions METS offers with its core exhibitors, bustling national pavilions and thriving SuperYacht Pavilion, Dros added. 'Feedback from attendees so far has been extremely positive and we are delighted that so many companies have already signed up for METS 2008.'
