NEW PRODUCTS Navmoor live data buoy sample
New concept smarter than the average buoy
Navmoor has released its ‘smart’ buoy, concept, which is available in new buoys or if customers prefer, can be added as a bolt-on to their existing hardware, the company says.
The company’s monitoring module can be added to any existing lantern power supply or self-contained unit to provide both verification that a light is working and confirmation that the buoy is correctly positioned via a GPS receiver, says managing director Chris Newell. It means ports and harbours can add monitoring to existing lateral and Cardinal buoys or buy new. It also means the number of buoys required is reduced – thus cutting maintenance costs.
New sustainable flare packs from Pains Wessex
Pains Wessex, part of the Wescom Group which manufactures pyrotechnics for the commercial and leisure marine markets, has launched a sustainable flare pack. The packs can be purchased with a 100 per cent sustainable, eco-friendly, biodegradable, compostable and recyclable reinforced paper bag and a polybottle reused for storage onboard.
Polybottles are rugged, water-resistant storage bottles that carry flares when onboard at sea, so distress signals can be easily retrieved in an emergency. Due to their buoyancy and waterproof nature, polybottles are often made of plastic-based material, with a much longer lifespan in comparison to leisure flares, for example, that are sold with up to four years’ service life.
This new solution is designed to combat the unnecessary waste of plastic polybottles and ensure a sustainable circle of habit for flare owners, with the handy, fit-for-purpose refill bag used to return any previous flares for safe disposal.
30% lighter roof system from Makefast
Despite the uncertainty of the last two years, Makefast has continued to design and develop products to complement its existing range of marine systems.
The new products are a Louvred Roof, a Privacy Blind and a Sliding Console Mechanism, each allowing a boat owner to set the mood on board and to create flexible spaces which can be either cosy and intimate or filled with light and air. All of the products can be tailored to suit different applications and are manufactured using marine grade 316L stainless steel and self-lubricating composite components to ensure smooth operation in potentially harsh environments.
Makefast’s new Blind creates instant privacy
The Louvred Roof is around 30% lighter than previous systems. It features tilting louvres that retract along a stainless-steel track that can match the profile of a boat and allows the user a choice of shade and ventilation styles.
