EUROMARINE presents CHOK-A-BLOK at the Paris Boat show.

EUROMARINE the CHOK-A-BLOK French Distributor presented CHOK-A-BLOK to the French Market on the Paris Boat Show (4-12 December 2010). They had a dedicated display area focused on CHOK-A-BLOK which drew a great deal of attention. According to Antione Thoreau, Head of Marketing at EUROMARINE; “the feedback from end-users and trade alike was that CHOK-A-BLOK is a great idea, easy to use, simple in design and a great alternative for pieces of carpet to protect precious cargo when on the move and above all that it allows multiple applications across many areas. The press showed a keen interest and CHOK-A-BLOK will be appearing in several French publications on the back of it”. Antoine Thoreau also said that far as EUROMARINE was concerned;  the promotion of CHOK-A-BLOK at the Paris Boat show was a great success and that they have some significant sales coming in as a direct result and furthermore that they are anticipating good product uptake in the local market.

CHOK-A-BLOK Sign Exclusive One Year Deal with Peters & May

CHOK-A-BLOK have signed a one year agreement with Peters & May of Southampton for CHOK-A-BLOK’s to be fitted as standard on all their boat shipments. Peters & May are one of the UK’s largest freight forwarders.

CHOK-A-BLOK  HELPS PETERS & MAY RAISE THE BAR WITH THE LAUNCH OF A UNIQUE SHIPPING GEL-COAT PROTECTOR AT THE PSP SOUTHAMPTON BOAT SHOW 2010
Peters & May is introducing the CHOK-A-BLOK  unique gel-coat protector as standard on all its boat shipments to provide added protection during transportation.
Angus Bruce Jones, Peters & May's Managing Director comments, “Felting is widely used to protect the gel-coat during shipping and whilst we will continue to use this proven method underneath the straps close to the cleats, we wanted to raise the bar, setting new standards with the development of a product for even greater protection and customer reassurance. The CHOK-A-BLOK  gel-coat protector has been designed to keep the straps clear of the gel-coat as well as a preventative measure against the straps vibrating in high winds or rough conditions.
“The CHOK-A-BLOK are strategically positioned and their plastic wings are folded over the shipping straps to hold the protectors in place. A small ridge underneath the wing stops the protector from slipping down the strap before a load is applied.”
Experienced Peters & May in-house Load Masters check and measure boats prior to the lift to ensure that they choose the correct cradle and equipment for the job, which keep the boat safely in position during shipping. When the boat has been placed onto the cradle, the Load Master will lash and carefully secure the boat in place with shipping straps prior to lifting onto the shipping vessel.

Peters & May offers a complete logistics solution to customers, from managing the boat lift, load and discharge, to handling paperwork and customs formalities.
