BMF networking event
EVENT: The South West region of the British Marine Federation (BMF) is holding a business networking event at Plymouth University on 11 June 2013.
The event, open to BMF members and non members, will give attendees the opportunity to see behind the scenes at the university’s Marine Institute wave tank and navigation suite.
The tour of the Marine Institute, which represents a £19m investment, will include the COAST laboratory, which combines wave, current and wind power to create a dynamic theatre suitable for device and array testing, environmental modelling and coast engineering.
In addition, the Marine Navigation Centre will also be part of the tour. Its ship simulator with full mission bridge and 270 degree screen enable it to generate and control virtual vessels in a range of environments.
The electronic charting laboratory and CAD modelling facility will also be included to demonstrate the latest in marine navigation technology.
The BMF says marine businesses will be able to see the facilities available at the Marine Institute and gain an understanding of how it operates as a gateway and resource, bringing businesses, technology, skills, innovation and investment together.
