Positive results from Admiralty at Marintec, Shanghai
“China has seen enormous growth for us, it’s a very important market for us and even in spite of the recession we have been feeling in the marine industry, it’s still a strong market for us.”
Michael Martin, Managing Director, Bogerd Martin
This years Marintec Exhbition which took place in November/December in Shanghai saw a very busy and successful Exhbition. Ian Moncrieff, UKHO Chief Executive was there to open the Exhibition Stand and to lend his support to the series of Admiralty workshops: "A key feature this year has been a number of workshops being run simultaneously in English and Mandarin, they have been incredibly well attended, packed out in fact.
Presented by Joe Collins, who many of us will know from his time in the Maritime Coastguard Agency - we are taking people through the procedures and what they need to be thinking about to be ready for the 2012 mandatory carriage of ECIDS"
The workshops running over two hours entitled 'Are you ready for the new ECDIS Regulations' demonstrated the 9 stages that a shipping company needs to understand in order to fully adopt digital navigation into their navigational strategies.
The Exhibition stand also featured ECDIS loaned from Japan Radio Co Ltd, Maris Asia Pacific Pte Ltd and Consilium GmbH. These ECDIS were able to demonstrate the Admiralty Vector Chart Service running in conjunction with the new safety layer Admiralty Information Overlay.
“Marintec is a great event in the Shipping Community, I have seen many new and exciting things, especially in the digital products that are available from Admiralty - very useful and encouraging for our Shipping Companies”
Changzhe Wu, Director, Sweethigh Navigation Technology
