BVT Ship Launches

In July TESS worked with Richmond Event Management to deliver the naming and commissioning ceremony for a vessels launched from the BVT shipbuilding facility at Portsmouth Naval Base.  The Offshore Patrol Vessel was specially made for the Omani Navy – and represents a significant investment in offshore defence and enforcement capabilities.  It seems the Omani's were so pleased with both the ship and the show they will be back for a few more!

2010 will also see a special ceremony for the Trinidad and Tobago Navy.

Since the Portsmouth site lacks a slipway, the traditional “champagne” launch is not an option.  Richmond Event Management delivered a spectacular event at the Naval Base two years ago to commission HMS Clyde – the challenge now is to keep exceeding the Client’s expectations following these fantastic ceremonies. 

If anyone has any ideas how to hide and then reveal a 100 metre vessel, send us a note via the Contact page!
