MARINE BUSINESS NEWS UPDATE
NEWS UPDATE
11 February 2022
Publishers note
Plenty of good news this week, with new product launches, innovation in technology, improved infrastructure and the opportunity for some extra learning.
Rumblings are afoot that there is more boat show news on the horizon. As you can imagine this is one of my favourite topics, so looking forward to hearing that.
In the meantime, those with a boat show withdrawal of sorts, can start planning to visit the upcoming Geelong Wooden Boat Festival.
On that note, our calendar of events is packed. If you know of any industry shows or activities that we may have missed, please let us know.
And remember, these news samples are not even half of all the stories we posted on our news page this week.
Please feel free to contact me or our team at newsroom@marinebusinessnews.com.au
Stay safe on the water,
