METS is billed as the world’s largest Marine Equipment Trade Show and is one of the most eagerly anticipated shows on Victron Energy’s events calendar<\/a>. This year proved no exception with the show being held last week in Amsterdam from Tuesday through to Thursday.<\/p>\n

According to the METS website: “The 2016 edition of the METSTRADE Show has once again broken all previous records for exhibitor and visitor attendance while setting a new benchmark for how a B2B exhibition becomes a memorable event for all involved”.<\/p>\n

Were you there? Here’s a few photos from the event, including the well attended ‘booth party’ where music and merriment were the order of the day!<\/p>\n

During the exhibition, there was great interest in all the integration options offered by Victron products.<\/p>\n

The NMEA 2000 protocol, is a plug-and-play communications standard used for connecting marine sensors and display units within ships and boats. During the show, there was lots of interest in our compatible products:<\/p>\n
