Dockmate has announced enhanced functionality for its wireless
remote control system.
Available in four models, Dockmate allows boaters to operate electronically controlled
engines, bow and stern thrusters, anchor winches and horns from anywhere on board using a handheld device.
“After many years of building prototypes and extensive testing, we have developed a system that is highly-reliable, intuitive and most of all, affordable,” said Dockmate’s Brian Sheehan.
“With our enhanced remote controls boaters can move around any vessel for better visibility when manoeuvring and enjoy complete confidence in even the tightest of waterways.” Enhanced range
The device now has an enhanced range of 50m and offers users visual and audible confirmation on the receiver’s status. The transmitter will automatically shut down after 30 minutes of non-use to optimise performance and is compatible with both 12 and 24-volt systems.
Approval given for new dropped object prevention device
A safety device that securely encloses and tethers overhead fixtures to prevent objects dropping and falling from height has received type approval recognition from ABS in accordance with the new ‘ABS Guide for Dropped Object Prevention on Offshore Units and Installations’.
The stainless-steel mesh Dropsafe Net is a pioneering solution to dropped objects in the offshore energy industry, while the equipment certification scheme is set to complement continuous safety improvements in the offshore and maritime sectors.
The Dropped Object Standardisation Scheme was developed in 2017 by ABS, following industry reports of an increasing rate of Dropped Object (DO) incidents, and the absence of industry standards for the design of equipment and prevention systems.
