METS

Anyone from here going? Off this evening if Dover is open, and hoping it will have calmed down a bit for the crossing.

Come and say hello, or let me know if there is anything you want pictures of posted here.

Seeing as I started this with plans of adding interesting pictures, I have to confess that I was simply too busy, every day. No sign of any slowdown apart from a lack of UK builders visiting the stand. The Italians, Australians, South Africans, Dutch, Germans and far Eastern builders were there in force. Everyone had projects either started or at the design stage so it wasn't just window shopping.

Next year I'll try harder with the photos.

wow I am surprised no English
did you receive enquires for Seatorque, I am still waiting for that big name to use your technology Neil, and I feel some of the big companies is trying to get hold on it....

Show visitors

One big one quite recently has been Drettman, who will have Seatorques on Bandido range. There was one respected UK builder at the show looking very seriously at Seatorque for their whole range price not an issue, so wait and see. They weren't the biggest by volume but have a great history and reputation.

One builder virtually committed for his whole range at the show so things are happening. Loads of bearing interest for straight replacement of rubber bearings.

Looks like it will be busy in the run up to LIBS.

thats very cool Neil
yes I forgot you told me for Horizon Drettmann are using it on Bandido, that is surely good news, then Flemming also jumped on your system too
British builder who is not the biggest but has a great history IMO has to be Broom....
when you can say who is this builder commited to the whole range, spill the beans please thank you
am always interested some day to visit some of these technical shows like METS and the IBEX US version

Oops ... I didnt take any pictures.

Amazingly busy for us. Non-Stop from the opening minute. The show had extended to another 2 halls and there was a little more room for the attendees.

It is an amazing show with so much on view ... if only I had got a chance to get around it rather than being on the stand ....

I thought the underwater lighting stands looked busy! I escaped the stand for about an hour over the whole show, as our customers are also the spar and crane builders. Nearly every stand called us in to discuss new projects or opportunities to fix or improve existing systems.

Now to sort through the list of actions! which will take a few days I think.
