SEAWORK REVIEW
MORE THAN 6,000 PEOPLE ATTEND FIRST SEAWORK FOR 3 YEARS Despite a two-year pandemic, an uncertain post-Brexit climate and then, to top it off, national rail strikes in the UK, the first Seawork for 1,100 days was a major success – as evidenced by the number of deals signed and products launched at a packed event. Here’s just a taste of some of what happened in Southampton on June 21-23 – beginning with the winners of the European Commercial Marine and Innovation Showcase awards. Artemis Technologies scoops three awards In total, UK boat builder Artemis Technologies won three prizes at Seawork this year, one in the European Commercial Marine Awards for ‘Maritime Sustainability’ in recognition of its ‘outstanding focus in its environment and sustainability efforts’, and two in the Innovation Showcase category, including the overall ‘Spirit of Innovation’ accolade and ‘Vessel Build and Design’. Mike Ring scooped ‘Lifetime Achievement’ in the ECMAs, for his work in high-performance sports boats and RIBs, founding his company, Ring Powercraft, in 1968. ‘Maritime Professional’ went to Andy Page, of Chartwell Marine.
