As we trace the path taken in 1914/15, we feel connected to the heroic men of the Endurance that survived the harsh and remote environment of the Weddell Sea. #Endurance #WeddellSeaExpedition2019
This year's Boot Dusseldorf had a really positive atmosphere from start to finish. Many of our retailers and partners enjoyed an increase in footfall and orders compared to previous years, including Sostechnic who reported a significant increase.
The Ocean Safety stand was busy from the opening weekend, right the way through to the last Sunday, with the Ocean Iso liferaft and the Jonbuoy man overboard recovery system proving very popular.
New to our stand this year were the newly redesigned Jonbuoy Danbuoy, Horseshoe, Rescue Sling and Danbuoy & Horseshoe Combination which were very well received.
We are now back in the office and busy working through your orders and enquiries. If you had any questions you weren't able to ask us at the event, please do contact us on 02380 720800 or info@oceansafety.com

We had a nice little project just before METS, working with a new client. Dutch company Newthex makes hatches, doors and elevators for superyachts, naval ships and commercial vessels and needed new A4 brochures in time for the show. We were approached to write the text. The word count wasn't huge but each one had to count, and time was in short supply. All went well, and it was great to visit the stand and see the brochures looking great. www.newthex.com

Newthex develops and manufactures watertight and weathertight doors and hatches whether it be hinged or sliding for your yacht or vessel.Day 2 at METS in Amsterdam. The show seems to get bigger every year and it’s very busy. Photo shows the press room - quiet at the moment with most of the journos out and about on the show floor.
Armistice Day - just outside Southampton we have a lovely park called the Royal Victoria Country Park that overlooks Southampton Water and up into the port. From 1863 to 1966 it was the site of an immense military hospital. It had its own pier from which the wounded were unloaded directly into the hospital.
All that remains now is the chapel, today a museum and and cafe and, tucked away at the far end of the park, a Commonwealth War Cemetery.
We were down there today, It's a beautiful spot on the side of a hill; well kept, the tomb stones clean with each name easy to read along with the date of death and the regiment, and often the age they were when they died. So many of them were in their teens as the vast majority there are from the First World War.
As well as being a beautiful and frequently visited site, what is also comforting is its inclusiveness. For lying alongside all the English, Scots, Irish, Australians etc are many Germans, brought there no doubt as wounded prisoners of war, and treated one would hope with the same care and respect as everyone else, in both life and death. They were probably just kids as well.
For anyone who has time to spare when they are in Southampton (or Hamble), the park is the best place to watch the cruise and container ships entering and leaving the port, and the cemetery is just a ten minute walk through the woods from the cafe.
Time for one of our occasional updates from here at ClearLine - it's been a busy summer with, as usual, a wide variety of projects. We've had some M&A activity to work on, with our focus on the post acquisition activities as the targets are integrated into the purchasers. Brand alignment, customer and market communications, website integration etc. All good fun. Other projects have involved research and writing copy for marketing publications in sectors including maritime defence & security, offshore wind power, marine access and ground effect vehicles as well as our usual tech, safety and marinas work.
We're also currently working on a number of interesting proposals in both the commercial and leisure marine sectors.
Two weeks now until the METS event in Amsterdam, so lots to do in the run-up to that. Always an interesting and sociable show!
