Unique decking system sees an uplift in
business Esthec Sensor Deck, the unique decking material that detects every motion on board, has seen an increase in demand since its launch last year.
The decking acts as a nifty type of deck lighting, a security system and also helps shipowners to save energy on board. When it comes to deck lighting, patterns, symbols and text can be created on the deck, extending the freedom of design for shipbuilders and designers.

Wärtsilä pioneers new prop design:
EnergoProFin Wärtsilä EnergoProFin is a state-of-the- art energy saving solution that increases propeller efficiency and creates fuel savings of up to five percent. The solution is now available for both controllable pitch propellers (CPP) as well as fixed pitch propellers (FPP), yielding the same results in both propeller options. Offering the solution for technologically more challenging CPPs was previously considered impossible in the industry, but is now made possible due to development work by the Wärtsilä hydrodynamics team.
The Wärtsilä EnergoProFin is a specially designed propeller cap with hydrofoil section fins on the downstream side of the propeller. It is an innovative energy saving device that can significantly reduce a vessel’s fuel consumption as well as its emission levels.
The Wärtsilä EnergoProFin, which rotates with the propeller, is optimised for propulsion upgrades of existing vessels and as such can be easily mounted without the need for complex structural changes. The device is designed to minimise the losses in the vortex leaving the propeller by transforming rotational energy into effective thrust, resulting in an efficiency increase that brings up to five percent fuel savings.

Suzuki launches new remote control box
A new binnacle-mount mechanical remote control box has been launched by Suzuki at the Paris Boat Show. Following feedback from its partner boat builders and end-user customers, Suzuki introduced significant modifications to make the control box easier to fit and easier to use.
The new design aims to improve user-friendliness by using enhanced tactile materials
on the throttle lever as well as a specially chamfered shape. This allows the lever to feel more comfortable to use even for long periods of time, and provides easier gripping in all conditions, aiming to improve safety overall.
In addition, the movement of the throttle is designed to be smoother while the power trim and tilt button is located at the top of the lever so that it is within easy reach. This is in order to give the driver greater control,
