Door of opportunity opens at Seawork

This versatile product can be augmented to suit the customer’s needs, be it watertight, weather tight, gas tight or sound reducing.

During Seawork 2011, a container company approached Westmoor to discuss a bespoke, cost effective and usable door option with weather tight properties for offshore application. Westmoor willingly obliged by designing, manufacturing and testing (in-house) a prototype.

Westmoor Engineering project engineer and Series 1000 designer, Jack McCusker, was delighted with the eventual outcome. “This matched both a market need and Westmoor’s continued product development, it was a great opportunity to get several elements of our expertise into one product”, he said.

Westmoor Engineering began life as a ship door manufacturer and supplier in Sunderland during the shipping boom of the 19^th Century. The company was acquired by the Renown Group in 2009 and has undergone substantial development as a result. The product range is now modernised and expanding, with a bespoke approach to products and new product development at its core.

Westmoor will be returning to Seawork 2012 on Stand B 195, displaying the new Series 1000 and the other door and hatches in the product range.
