NEWS IN BRIEF Unique Group cooperates with dry dock pioneer Tugdock Integrated subsea and offshore solutions provider Unique Group has entered a new partnership with floating dry dock innovator Tugdock. Unique Group has provided their Seaflex brand buoyancy bags for a brandnew, patented modular floating dry dock concept designed and manufactured by Tugdock. The system comes in sizes ranging from 12m x 12m to 100m x 100m with a total lift capacity up to 15,000t, and is able to lift vessels and other floating structures clear of the water at a fraction of the cost of standard dry docks. Easily transportable in standard shipping containers, it is quickly and cost-effectively taken to the vessel(s) where the components are assembled in customised dimensions. Each Tugdock system uses individually controlled Seaflex buoyancy bags contained within an open steel frame structure, in a concept developed over two years by Tugdock and a team of Unique Group experts. i. uniquegroup.com i. tugdock.com
Bolidt offers creative lighting for cuise vessels Bolidt has expanded its Bolideck range of ship deck covering solutions with an illuminated LED design that can be used on cruise vessels and superyachts. The Bolideck LED has been installed in a bar and a number of passenger access areas onboard the 2,894-passsenger TUI Cruises vessel Mein Schiff 2. It is also part of a stunning ‘floor diamonds’ artwork on the ship, developed in partnership with ICArt and design studio SOFTlab. Installation of the novel artwork floor required close cooperation between the shipyard, Meyer Turku, Bolidt and SPT Finland, while the vessel was under construction at the Finnish yard. The project’s success depended on the fitting of the LED lighting with the right sequencing and at the optimum time in the production process to enable Bolidt to complete the striking flush decking finish.
