New rigging company opens for business
Evolution Rigging has started trading from its base at Suffolk Yacht Harbour on the UK east coast. Headed up by Richard Odell, formerly of Oyster Yachts, the team at Evolution Rigging has more than 40 years’ combined rigging and sailing experience. “Rigging and sails in particular come hand in hand, so it makes sense to ensure they are set up to complement each other rather than addressing them in isolation,” he said.
“Importantly we are sailors as well as riggers, so we understand how to help customers get the most out of their boats, whether it be for cruising down the river or competitive racing,” explained Mr Odell.
“No two boats are the same, so owners can find it difficult to know what is best for their rig. We understand how daunting it can be and offer customers the chance to come in and discuss their requirements with our experienced team.”
NEW PRODUCTS
Wave International has launched its oil water filter separator, MiniBOSS
MiniBOSS is a small, lightweight, low cost and easy to maintain oil water separator. The certified bilge filter system provides
effective control and prevention of oily bilge water discharge. The Wave MiniBOSS separators use two Wavestream WS-C3 cartridges to attain the high efficiency and holding capacity required to meet these requirements set by the IMO.
MiniBOSS meets the Marine Pollution (MARPOL) requirements as stipulated by the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC).107(49) certification.
It has been fully tested at 15ppm and 5pmm levels, gaining certification from the US Coast Guard to meet the IMO Resolution which stipulates that all shipboard oily water separator’s (OWS) achieve clean bilge water under 15 ppm of type C oil or heavily emulsified oil, along with any other contaminates that may be found.
New offshore suits from Viking
Viking has introduced a new suit for those working in the offshore sector and who are exposed to more extreme conditions. This new suit, the PS4191 combines the roles of anti-exposure suit, work suit and as an immersion suit. According to Soren Hansen, the manager for Viking Global Products embracing Personal Protection Equipment (PPE), the new suit is highly breathable, thus minimising the risk of heat stress and condensation build-up.
The suit when fitted with the fully integrated inflatable buoyancy and various lining choices is both an ISO and SOLAS approved suit. Viking claims that it is a viable replacement for three individual pieces of PPE such as the summer suit, the winter suit and a lifejacket which are typically worn in the industry. “The PS4191 is feature-packed and ergonomically enhanced unlike any suit seen before and compared with what people usually wear out there, it is a huge upgrade” said Hansen.
