Primarily specialising in commercial marine vessels, the privately-owned business has experienced significant growth in the past year, attributing much of its success to Seawork.<\/p>\n
WMD\u2019s fellow Seawork exhibitor, Manor Renewable Energy placed its order for its second WMD-designed 26 metre wind farm service vessel (WFSV) 2018 (pictured), which is being built by its sister company, Manor Marine. The first 26m WFSV, Manor Venture<\/em>, was launched in 2017.<\/p>\n James Walker, Naval Architect and MD of Walker Marine Design, and who was awarded the title of the European Commercial Marine Awards\u2019 Maritime Professional of the year in 2018, comments, \u201cI can truly credit Seawork for many of WMD\u2019s successes and resultant growth.
