Ocean Business is now firmly established as an un-missable international event for ocean technology, with almost 40% of visitors coming from abroad. Each Ocean Business show has seen a substantial increase in visitors with the last show in 2015, seeing a remarkable 29% increase in visitor numbers.
- 5000+ visitors from over 65 countries
Despite the industry’s economic downturn, companies have booked stand space at a quicker rate than ever before and the organisers are expecting a record number of visitors. Versha Carter, Group Director for Ocean Business, believes this is because companies recognise the importance of diversifying into new markets and building new relationships.

CLEANER OCEANS FOUNDATION
A volunteer advocate (also a consultant marine engineer) will be attending this event on our behalf, should anyone be interested in discussing the potential for collaboration on the SeaVax™ autonomous ocean workhorse (feed the world project) or the AmphiMax™ (virtual boatyard project). We are looking for corporate sponsorship by way of risk-share on the AmphiMax, the build of which has commenced with the purchase of a suitable diesel engine and details design of the cab hydraulic controls and frame.

SEAVAX - The new research facility for this versatile autonomous ocean platform will allow the Cleaner Oceans Foundation to conduct experiments more efficiently. Fitting out of a dedicated robotics lab and compact water test tank is under way to accelerate our development programme.
DWINDLING FISH STOCKS - Food security is a major problem the world will have to face as the available land for to grow crops reduces in competition with land for housing, as the population expands. The situation is far from sustainable and a bubble that could burst. If and when the bubble bursts it will cause the deaths of millions of people, where additional farming will create more carbon dioxide to heat the climate, making more land barren in a vicious circle that as the responsible species we must take steps to prevent happening. More than 10% of the world (700,000,000 million people) rely on the ocean for food, but in addition to our poor land management record, we are also polluting the seven seas with plastic that is toxic - so reducing the number of fish that we might harvest for food.
