OUTFITTERS New Crewsaver cylinder locking system Survitec brand, Crewsaver, is pleased to announce the launch of EXOLOK. EXOLOK is a new cylinder locking system that provides increased security for gas cylinders attached to lifejackets – helping to ensure your lifejacket protection is securely locked in. EXOLOK will be fitted to all Crewsaver lifejackets going forwards. It can additionally be retrofitted to all existing Crewsaver lifejackets with UML or Halkey Roberts firing heads by owners. From March 2021, Crewsaver inflatable lifejacket services carried out by approved service stations will incorporate EXOLOK as standard. The innovative system removes any potential for a gas cylinder to work loose within a lifejacket, instilling more confidence than ever regarding lifejacket performance. Users can perform a quick visual check to see that all is well, making sure their gas cylinder is correctly threaded with a glance to see that two arrows line-up. The orange EXOLOK system is for UML operating mechanisms, while the yellow is for Halkey Roberts firing heads. From 2021 all-new Crewsaver lifejackets will include EXOLOK as standard, bringing safety and innovation to the forefront. i. survitecgroup.com
High-strength fff ship windows from Fehrmann They are still primarily installed in police boats, patrol vessels and heavy weather rescue cruisers, where they ensure the greatest possible safety under the toughest conditions. Now Fehrmann opens the distribution of its patented fff windows for other ship groups, national and international. The fff ship windows are 600% more resistant to failure compared to windows commonly available on the market: even in tests according to naval standards, in which shock and vibration tests showed that the windows withstood more than ten times the acceleration of gravity. This gain in safety for crew and cargo, not only during autumn storms, has already convinced several shipping companies to equip their ships with fff windows. Others rely on the innovative window system because it makes upgrades quick and easy. Complete windows can be replaced within a few minutes and without any hot work. This is made possible by a patented clamping system that completely eliminates the need for screws or adhesives. To install or replace an fff window, all you need is a hex wrench or a cordless screwdriver. This low installation effort reduces the working hours and thus the installation costs by up to 80% compared to a weld-in frame of the same size. At the same time, the risk of cost and delay-causing damage to newly installed windows due to carelessness during the hot work is reduced by up to 70%. i. fehrmann.tech
Remote cyber security assessment Vessels worldwide are now facing compliance with IMO 2021 cyber security regulations. These are the first of what could be additional cyber security regulations for regulated vessels and facilities. International Maritime Security Associates (IMSA), the developers of the award-winning ARMS software platform, have developed a suite of cyber security tools and services for the maritime industry. The company has recently launched the capability to conduct basic shipboard network vulnerability assessments without sending personnel onboard. This unique tool is part of a larger suite of cyber security tools IMSA has developed to support vessels and maritime facilities with expanding their cyber security defenses. Some of these cyber security tools are part of the ARMS software platform. Through ARMS, IMSA can monitor a vessel’s critical systems and networks remotely in real-time through their state-of-the-art SOC (Security Operations Center). This capability protects vessels from real-time threats to IT, OT, and other critical network systems. i. arms.imsa.global
