      The main purpose of MCS`s participation in IMDS 2013 was to demonstrate the potential of the technical solutions for comprehensive outfitting of naval shipbuilding facilities. Technical solutions exhibited included the system of special-purpose poured deck coatings, structures of fire-proof bulkheads, decorative fire-resistant wall panels, marine furniture and equipment.

     The exposition of MCS received a high praise from the representatives of the shipyards and design bureaus. Within the framework of business and scientific work of the Show the specialists of MCS held a technical workshop “STRONGBOX SYSTEM”, during which they presented comprehensive solutions for projects of re-equipment of internal premises of ships and vessels.

      The working program also included participation of the company manager Mikhail Motsak as an expert in the round table meeting on the subject: “Seaman`s Household: How to Improve Living Conditions Onboard?”, which was organized by the Federal Information Agency RIA Novosti and was dedicated to the problems of habitability conditions on ships and vessel of the Russian Navy.

     During the exhibition MCS`s booth was visited by several hundreds of subject matter specialists – professionals in shipbuilding and foreign delegations, among which the delegation headed by the Commander-in-Chief of the Republic of Poland can be particularly noted. The Commander-in-Chief expressed interest in the system of comprehensive outfitting of the ship`s premises in regards to the ships and vessels being designed for the Polish Navy. We held business meetings with the representatives of all shipyards and design companies, which participated in the Show. We received highly praiseful evaluation on the high quality of the presented equipment from all the participants of the IMDS. As a result of the work on solutions for premises outfitting conducted at the exhibition and technical workshop, we have already received around 20 inquires for designs for new-building and modernized ships of the Russian Navy and support fleet.

    We thank all our partners for their support during preparation for the exhibition and visitors of our booth and participants of the Show for their valuable attention and high interest in the demonstrated systems as well as questions raised for discussion in relation to the habitability conditions of the modern ships and vessels of the Russian Navy. Please find enclosed a photo report from the exhibition as well as an article about our project of corvette 20380 printed in the main magazine of the Russian Ministry of Defense.
