Singapore success for Seawork exhibitor

Proving popular at a number of international exhibitions, returning Seawork exhibitor VersaDock has received an order from the organisers of Boat Show Asia 2008 for 300 m2 of VersaDock to not only create a floating stage but also to extend the display and visitor space available at this year’s event, which took place in Singapore at the end of last month.

The VersaDock system of pontoon and boat floats is constructed using a high molecular weight polyethylene. Virtually indestructible, VersaDock is capable of dealing with the most demanding environments, and is strong and stable enough to hold extraordinary loads.

After Boat Asia, the exhibition organisers will be offering the docks for rent to other event organisers in Singapore, working with the locally-based VersaDock area distributor, Marina Systems International.

A new VersaDock marina has recently been constructed as part of Dubai's new Palm at Deira, and VersaDock was also used to provide boat and seaplane access to the new 'World' development off the Dubai coast during a recent function held in conjunction with the Dubai World Cup horse racing event.

The VersaDock system is also proving increasingly popular with private boat owners as installation does not require any specialist skills, and can be assembled in only a few hours. VersaDock is the only modular system that can be fully assembled from above the dock.

Drive-on V-Float technology guides and cradles the hull of a boat safely onto the dock, enabling vessels to be driven on and stored out of the water thus protecting them from salt and corrosion in the harsh marine environment. It also means no anti-fouling is required.

VersaDock’s design allows the dock to move with the waves whilst remaining completely solid. Maintenance is rarely required because excess water immediately drains away, and in most cases the system can also be left in the water over the winter. The lightweight interlocking modules are easy to add to, change, upgrade or relocate.
