New cleaning products for superyachts
Wild Group has launched a new set of cleaning products for superyachts, designed to be used on paint, gel and vinyl wrapped surfaces.
The Boatox range of products is designed to help crew clean, restore and protect exterior and interior surfaces. The product formulas are based on nano surface technology and chemical engineering that the company says out perform many products for finish and durability.
The products are biodegradable and include an everyday yacht shampoo, a heavy duty cleaner and a hydrophobic nano spray. The shampoo is pH neutral manufactured to wash boats without removing sealant or wax protection. It can be used on gel, painted and wrapped surfaces.

Safer towing for smaller vessels
Norwegian maritime safety and lifting expert H Henriksen AS has introduced a disc type towing hook for safer on- load release.
When a line is released under tension from such a hook, some of the kinetic energy of snap-back is absorbed by spinning the heavy disc from zero up to a quite high speed, almost instantly. It is certified under DNVGL- ST- 0378
regulations and, according to Henriksen Hooks requires virtually no maintenance. After every interval of five- years the manufacturer can test and recertify the hook to ensure that it has a long working life.
According to Ole Rasmus Undrum, Sales Manager, Henriksen Hooks there are multiple vessel types that could benefit from such equipment: “The first sale has been made to a fish farm on the west coast of Norway where the movement of feed barges is a regular part of daily activity. A substantial purchase of the hooks has also been made by the Norwegian Society for Sea Rescue which expects to make frequent use of them for rescuing small craft. Outside of small workboats and towing vessels there is also some interest from concerns such as pilot boat operators, who’s vessels, while not routinely engaged in towing, are quite likely to find themselves in first responder situations where towing could be required.”
