POSIDONIA 2008: BREAKING ALL RECORDS Every two years the Greek shipowners welcome the international shipping community to Posidonia and extend their celebrated hospitality that makes participation a real pleasure. But exhibitors should be ready for serious discussions with corporate, technical and operations management taking a keen interest in their products and services. Posidonia is renowned not only for the networking opportunities and contacts made on the busy exhibition stands, but importantly for the number and value of deals concluded during the show. Posidonia is meeting the growing demand for exhibition space with the flexible and efficient facilities of the Hellenikon Exhibition Centre. For 2008 this will accommodate up to 27,500 sqm of exhibition space on one level, with easy access and no weight limitations on equipment and machinery exhibits. It will provide spacious car parking, a business centre, a seminar room and easy access to the international airport and to Piraeus and Athens city centres. In nearly 40 years Posidonia has grown to become the major maritime industry event. In 2006 over 16,000 buyers from 81 maritime nations, more than are represented at any other maritime event, visited over 1,600 exhibitors. In 2008 exhibitors will again benefit from Posidonia's unrivalled global reach.

Welcome to RealDistance.com. Our Voyage Simulator, offers a new paradigm in voyage estimating and passage planning. Our website is specifically tailored to those involved in the operation of large merchant vessels. If you operate vessels in excess of 5,000 DWT, commonly referred to as handy-size, handy-max, panamax, and cape-size you will benefit considerably from the potential savings generated by this innovative application of vessel routing technology to the planning phase of the voyage. If you operate vessels with performance characteristics that differ significantly from that of the mono-hull, propeller driven merchant ships described above, our simulator may still be of great value. Check our Quick-Start guide to discover how our simulator can be loaded with custom vessel performance data.

London, United Kingdom

Reed began on the 7th May 1960 when Alec Reed, then aged 26, opened the first Reed branch in Hounslow, West London. He started with just £75 and worked alone for a year. Perhaps Reed's greatest achievement is that from these modest beginnings the company has grown organically, and not by acquisition, into a business with over 2000 Co-Members (staff) and 280 branches that generated sales of £373 million last year. Reed has grown by giving clients what they want - the right people - and has won a growing number of clients by continually innovating and improving the service it has to offer. Reed is committed to delivering The Intelligent Response, and this has been a consistent theme since the company began. Thanks to Alec Reed's entrepreneurial flair the company quickly emerged from the pack, not least because it approached the market in new and original ways. Reed was the first recruitment company to offer specialist recruitment services. This began with the creation of Reed Executive, Reed Accountancy and Reed Nursing Personnel in the early 1960s. At least another dozen specialist niches have been developed since. Reed's move into specialisation fundamentally changed the UK recruitment market. In the 1960s Reed expanded rapidly and with its strategy to secure prominent, prime site locations to attract the best candidates for its clients, it developed a distinctive brand on the High Street. This early combination of presence, innovation and specialisation made the brand instantly recognisable to a wide public. Following its first decade of success, the company was floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1971. The Company was once again taken private and delisted from the London Stock Exchange in 2003. To this day the founder's entrepreneurial spirit is fundamental to the company's culture and to its approach to the market. James Reed, Chief Executive and son of Alec, has announced Reed is pursuing a Venture Peoplist business model, which means that it will be investing in, and pursuing new business opportunities that centre on people and people resourcing. Reed prides itself on being an organisation that continues to innovate and specialise and that will rise to meet any challenge, however great.

The Rubb Group manufactures prefabricated, portable structures, buildings, and shelters and custom structures for many applications. There are two common features: a well-engineered steel frame and a PVC coated polyester fabric cover which is tensioned over the frame to provide a tight fitting shell. Variations include provision of alternative materials such as steel cladding or aluminum frame members, but essentially the concept of prefabricated, relocatable construction remains. Rubb structures are available in single spans of 3 meters (10 ft.) to over 79 meters (260 ft.) by any length. Standard module distances vary from 3m (10 ft.) to 5m (16 ft.) Multispan options are also available to provide for even larger structures. Side and gable walls of Rubb buildings are vertical to provide maximum space utilization. A primary advantage of the Rubb design is its ability to be provided in virtually any configuration to suit your needs. Other major benefits of Rubb structures are their speed of delivery and erection, minimal foundation requirements and complete relocatability or extension at any time. This portability provides several advantages over conventional structures and allows quick response to changing circumstances. Because Rubb products are so easy to deploy or relocate, an investment in a Rubb structure should never be thought of in the conventional terms of "fixed assets". Rubb buildings are often resold and put to an entirely different use elsewhere in the world so there is never a danger of making a serious investment mistake when you specify Rubb. Rubb has earned a reputation for tackling difficult and unique projects. We have developed substantial structures which can be moved about on wheels or rails or even lifted around a job site in fully erected form. We offer a strong commitment to compliance
