BB will run a full preview in next month’s issue, but just to let you know what’s in store, stand bookings show over 10% of exhibitors hailing from overseas - Italy, Korea, China, Holland, Sweden, Finland, Norway, France, Australia, USA, Spain…

Independent overseas visitors numbers will also be swelled by inward missions of buyers organised by UK Trade & Investment and delegates to concurrent events such as the Tugnology conference.

Stronger than ever, the DiveWork Pavilion has attracted a score of companies, including Divex, Kaymac, Searchwise, Osiris, Hyrdospace and the Professional Diving Academy.

The Ribwork Trail focuses on vessels ashore and afloat but also includes engines, propulsion systems, safety, clothing, seating – and all other relevant areas. And the Rib Trail signage makes for easy navigation from stand to pontoon, where over 30 of the newest and most innovative commercial RIBs will be berthed.
