TEAM NORWAY MAKES DEBUT AT SEAWORK

Seawork is welcoming the maritime quality and tradition of ‘Team Norway’ for the first time with its own pavilion inside the exhibition this year

Organised by Norwegian Maritime Exporters (NME), the organisation that specialises in arranging Team Norway pavilions for a host of exhibitions around the world, the pavilion gives Norwegian companies the chance to come together under the gold standard that is Norway when it comes to marine tradition and expertise.

“We do it in a cluster of Norwegian – or even nonNorwegian, if they are showcasing Norwegian products or services – firms so that they can get a good location, all the support they need, guests and so on, instead of finding themselves in a remote part of an event in the middle of nowhere,” says NME CEO Erlend Prytz, who has been leading the organisation for seven years.

“We back any size with services, lounge, personnel – all they have to worry about is marketing their services or products. Being in a cluster draws attention, so they get more bang for their buck.”

Norway has been at the forefront of today’s ‘green shift’, says NME project manager Nini Paulsen, with decarbonisation and sustainability on the country’s agenda for a while. Having visited Seawork last year they decided it was the right exhibition to bring that knowledge to.

“We have thousand years of maritime history, and I think most companies sense the quality Norway brings,” says Prytz. ”This is what we want to showcase, and we want to do that by establishing ourselves in the city of Southampton at Seawork.”

SMS unveils 3 early projects for 2023

Southampton, UK-based ship refurbisher SMS Group has won three very different projects in different corners of Europe in the first few weeks of 2023.

The vessel repairer and engineer has been called to Denmark, France and Northern Ireland to work on three types of boats, which has been made possible because of an expanded team at HQ, commercial director Nicholas Warren says.

The company carried out a major fast-ferry refit in Denmark, a package of mechanical works on a shiplift in Cherbourg, and in Belfast, an overhaul of the stern gear on a 102m vessel for Irish Ferries, Warren said.

“Our knowledge and experience in the repair, maintenance and overhaul of jets, shaft-lines, ride control units and high-speed diesels speaks for itself; and now we’ve expanded the team in Southampton we’ve the band-width to undertake projects simultaneously - both here in the UK and overseas,” he said.

“In a separate project we’re currently undertaking works in Liverpool for the Isle of Man Steam Packet Co, a major package of interior refurbishment and upgrades onboard a 98m fast ferry. The works include an interior upgrade, enhanced galley and servery, and an upgraded first-class lounge.”

At last year’s Seawork, SMS won a very lucrative refuurbishment contract to signal its most successful year ever.

CORROSION BLOCK – KILLS CORROSION ON CONTACT

Corrosion Block is a unique product that can both prevent and stop active corrosion in more places than any other product of its type.

It's no secret that equipment downtime, repair and replacement are expensive. It is also no secret that regular scheduled preventive maintenance is cheaper than the repair or replacement of expensive equipment. In days of dwindling maintenance budgets and closer scrutiny of operating costs and procedures, you can show a real saving through preventive control of corrosion. Corrosion Block is described as a clean, clear, ultra-thin fluid which leaves a non-greasy atmospheric barrier to protect the base metal on interior surfaces. Corrosion Block leaves no gummy residue because it contains no wax, resin, tar, asphalt, silicone or Teflon.

Corrosion Block works both as a preventative and a cure, and does not harm plastics or painted surfaces.

Corrosion Block anti-corrosion compound is a state-of-the-art grease developed for the marine industry, outperforming lithium and most synthetic greases by 5:1. It’s waterproof, has excellent extreme pressure properties, thermal/ oxidative stability, is workplace-safe and environmentally friendly.

The Civil Engineering Contractors Association (CECA) will hold a special session on tidal power in its conference session at Seawork this year.

Speakers from Industry leading projects TPGEN24 and TIGER (Tidal Stream Industry Energiser) will outline opportunities for marine civils in delivering key offshore infrastructure; the magnitude of investment needed to build and maintain tidal power projects; the benefits, resilience, and longevity of tidal green energy; and the environmental implications for this renewable energy sector.

CECA will also be joined by Martin Willis, executive officer of the UK Harbour Masters Association (UKHMA), who will provide his insight on offshore projects and highlight the importance of engaging with the UKHMA for the necessary approvals.

CECA is the representative body for companies who work day-to-day to deliver, upgrade, and maintain the country’s infrastructure. With more than 300 members including Balfour Beatty, BAM Nuttall, Kier, Tarmac & Volker Stevin, CECA represents firms who, together, carry out an estimated 70-80 per cent of all civil engineering activity in the UK, in the key sectors of transport, energy, communications, waste and water.
