With great honour and at the invitation of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Maritime and Ports, and with thanks to Clare, our amazing Head of Communications & Government Relations, we attended the annual session of the AAPGMP in Select Committee Room 16 at the House of Commons last week.

Chaired by the Rt Hon Jim Fitzpatrick MP the meeting was addressed by the Rt Hon John Hayes MP, Minister for Shipping who, speaking to the worshipful Company of Shipwrights earlier this month in London said something we wholly support, “On your shoulders rests Britain’s future as the world’s leading maritime nation. If, 100 years from now, we are still to be famous as the country that builds, repairs and maintains the finest vessels that sail the seas; if we are still to be renowned as the home of shipbuilding genius and skill; and if we are still to be celebrated as the nation that leads the world’s maritime affairs, it will be because those in this room today seized the opportunity to learn, to train, and to excel at everything you do.”

We are a leading UK company with state of the art ultrasonic devices that help the maritime industry work without delays. Our world famous Portascanner is the perfect device for immediate and flawless hatch cover maintenance and watertight integrity testing. As ships face a lot of wear and tear during their voyages, many cracks and leaks appear without the crew knowing about them. Most of them appear in hidden places where the human eye cannot see. This proves to be lethal when the next voyage takes place as the goods get water damaged and the sipping company faces a lot of criticism and not to mention losses.

We strive to provide the maritime industry with the best devices that can be used for detecting leaks so they can find a suitable solution well within time. Apart from just focusing on hatch covers integrity testing, the Portascanner is completely capable of assisting in watertight compartment doors testing. Thus this device can be used to scan the entire ship and ensure that when the ship sets out for a voyage there is no chance of water seeping inside the cabins or cargo holds. A dry ship is a safe ship as water not only causes damage to goods or cause panic inside the cabins, it increases weight which can often prove to be lethal for the well being of the ship and the crew that sails with it.
