Inflatable berth A
n innovative infl atable product called Parking Boat that provides an instant berth in harbours has recently been
introduced by Vira Soluzioni Srl. Made from fenders in rubberised
fabric with high impact resistance, the product can be infl ated in just a few minutes using electrically or manually-operated bellows. Each fender has a single air-chamber, which is covered in fabric for further protection. When defl ated, it can be stored in a small amount of space.
If a fender is punctured, the berth
structure remains afl oat because the air chamber in each one is independently infl ated. Parking Boat has a U shape and is
only suitable for berthing one craft. It is equipped with rings for mooring alongside a dock. Accessories include a roofi ng
canopy supported by either aluminum poles or infl atable tubes. Vira Soluzioni Srl

Anti-pollution device for ropes
Over one million seabirds and 100,000 sea mammals are killed by pollution every year, many of them victims of the thousands of plastic objects that get washed up at sea. ‘What Knot’, a device from the
USA that can tie and unfasten almost any rope with a thickness between 3 mm to 15 mm, can help make a significant reduction to this number. Rope is often made of cheap, disposable plastic. When used on a dock or boat, it becomes wet and difficult to untie. More often than not, users will simply cut it and let it go. This anti-pollution device
can be used at any point along the length of good quality rope, connecting and disconnecting in just six seconds. Users can
place and adjust ‘What Knot’ to the nearest millimetre simply and quickly. It’s completely waterproof, so will never rust or rot, and is not affected by the sun’s UV rays. Just Right Products UK & Europe Ltd
