Repeated Shock & Whole Body Vibration
The immediate and long term effects of impact and
vibration on people need to be understood by ALL.
Lower speed workboats face different issues to high speed
craft - but the shared objective is reducing risk of injury.
NEXT GEN brings together the latest industry best practice
and knowledge for ALL sectors operating planing craft.
Who Should Attend?
ALL stakeholders involved in designing, operating and
supporting marine operations on sea, estuaries or rivers.
Workshop Lead - John Haynes

Maritime Systems is a multi-faceted design engineering company producing its own range of products. The Vessel Impact and Motion Monitoring System (VIMMS) is designed as a direct response to maritime industry requirements to monitor levels of shock and vibration on both crews and vessels during operations in waves and at high speeds.

Salmon Power Sports manufacture dynamic ballast systems that are designed to fundamentally change the way in which boats perform at high speeds. By harnessing seawater for ballast whilst underway, the systems generate true inertia at the bow in order to optimise trim without increasing drag, giving boats the power needed to take waves head-on.
