COVID-19 Update – March 2020

An update on the steps The Viking Maritime Group are taking to help minimise the spread of COVID-19.

We are continuing to follow and monitor official guidance from the UK Government, Public Health England and The World Health Organisation (WHO) carefully.

It is of vital importance for us to ensure that any and all procedures are in place to support the health and well-being of visitors, course delegates and our staff members.

To help combat the spread of COVID-19, we have been putting precautionary safety measures in place as part of business and at our different locations, including:

• International business travel including attending events is cancelled until further notice

• Emphasizing frequent and proper hand washing and providing hand sanitizer throughout offices and training centres

• Cleaning high contact points more regularly

In line with government guidance, we are continuing to operate as usual.

We will continue to keep in touch with relevant persons and follow official guidance from the UK Government and Public Health England carefully.

Seawork 2020

Seawork is a ‘one stop shop’ for buyers, providing access to the commercial marine and workboat markets.

It is the largest European commercial marine exhibition held at the prestigious Mayflower Park venue in Southampton, SO14 2AN, United Kingdom.

Come and visit the Viking Maritime Group this year! We will be on stand T13 in the Training & Careers Hub showcasing Viking Crew and Maritime Skills Academy.

Now in its 23rd year, Seawork offers a unique combination of undercover exhibition space, open air demonstrations and floating displays.

The exhibition encompasses:

• 18,000m² of undercover space spread over two purpose built exhibition halls

• Purpose built pontoons for more than 70 vessels and floating exhibits

• Demonstrations out on the water

• Quayside area for trailers, large exhibits and outdoor demonstrations

• Excellent conference and meeting facilities

 

 

Here are four good reasons to attend:

1. Walk away with a head full of new ideas and concepts to help you in your job.

2. See in-depth examples of how money can be saved in workboat operations. Our packed programme of conferences, events, demos and competitions provide a productive background buzz throughout Seawork’s fully occupied exhibition and display areas.

3. Make new contacts and catch up with people you already know in the supply chain – Seawork attracts over 600 exhibitors and 7700 attendees from all over the world.

4. Have a great day out – there is no other event like it! It is the largest international commercial maritime exhibition and business forum held at the prestigious Mayflower Park venue in Southampton.
