MARINA & YARD PAVILION Roberto Perocchio and Geert Dijks bring the MYP audience up to date on WMC 2016. Global marina focus at METSTRADE 2015 The 2015 METSTRADE show in Amsterdam, 17 th -19 th November, once again set new records in terms of attendance, welcoming 21,953 visitors from all over the world. The RAI Amsterdam halls were buzzing, with 1,385 exhibitors including 200 first-timers. The attendance was the highest recorded to date with a 4% rise in international profile. Particular growth was observed in the number of visitors from Australia, Greece, Italy, Turkey, the UK and the USA. METSTRADE opened its doors early on 17 th November for exhibitors and VIP guests to attend the annual Breakfast Briefing, which featured a keynote presentation on 3D Printing by Peter Sander of Airbus Industries. This was followed by a special 25 th anniversary DAME Design Award presentation and – for the first time – announcement of joint overall winners: the Lume On LED light from Spinlock and the electric stabilising fin and interceptor system from Humphree. There were eight category winners and nine Special Mentions. Just for marina professionals The Marina & Yard Pavilion (MYP) attracted a core of nearly 40 exhibitors marketing a broad range of marina and boatyard products and services, including pontoons and floats, dockside pedestals and pump-out equipment, mooring systems, boat hoists, management software, boatlifts, environmental products and marina consultancy. Exhibitors and guests gathered at the Waterfront Café on 18 th for the official launch of the ICOMIA World Marinas Conference (WMC) 2016. Sporting the theme ‘The future of marinas in a changing world’, WMC 2016 will dovetail with METSTRADE 2016 and incorporate the MYP exhibitors on day one of its three-day programme. The audience was brought up to date on this year’s bumper event via presentations given by Roberto Perocchio, chairman of the ICOMIA Marinas Group, Geert Dijks of HISWA and Sarah Westdijk of RAI Amsterdam. “By joining us in Amsterdam for the ICOMIA World Marinas Conference, people will learn from the leading experts in the field,” Perocchio said. “Listening to and leveraging on their lifetime of experience will offer all you need to know about the marina business and its international trends in the space of just a couple of days.” Going global The WMC 2016 presentation was followed by the official launch of the new Gold Anchor Global Marina Accreditation scheme, the joint venture between The Yacht Harbour Association (TYHA) and the Australia-based Marina Industries Association (MIA) that was announced in November 2014. The scheme will be progressively phased in as Gold Anchor marinas from 26 countries are reaudited as part of the three-year rolling accreditation cycle. New entrants to the scheme will be audited automatically under the new scheme, which comes into effect on 1 st April. Speaking at the launch, TYHA chairman, Sarah Hanna, said: “The work of combining the schemes is a classic example of the synergy that can be achieved by two willing parties working closely together. The resulting new scheme will provide an excellent and contemporary Global Marina Accreditation, with a clear focus on marina end users and their needs with regards to facilities, standards and services.” Marina World is the official media partner for the MYP at METS and for WMC 2016.
