You mention an air compressor for air mattresses as a selling point. Does this feature come standard? Or does it cost extra?
Yes sir…no extra cost…
Can this be permanently installed on a weather deck (welded) and wired up with 220V 60hz power?
How many air mattresses can be filled before the compressor requires maintenance?
Absolutely. We are currently retrofitting it on subterranean ATVs for a volunteer fire dept. Yes it can be powered with that source and it will be able to pump up to pump at least 15-20. It has also pumped a liferaft…a dingy
Also have a retrofit design for high water vehicles and offshore floating platforms/rigs
Will it pump up SCBA’s?
I guess that’s putting the Dutch in Dutch Harbor.
No sir. Not breathing air…although we’ll be looking to scale as we grow. As a firefighter that’s very close to my heart…breathing air.
Searching Aleutian islands now…
The US Coast Guard, as could be expected, is responsible for the type approval for equipment to be installed on board a ship. Getting type approval is not an easy task so be prepared and it is not for free, it will cost you. Just to name one probable test will be the drone’s behaviour in a very strong, pulsed, electro magnetic environment as caused by close by high power radar transmissions. This can cause serious blocking effects of the drone’s receiver.
It surprises me that you up to now not have not investigated the necessary procedures for on board fitting of such equipment. Obviously you are not very well acquainted with our industry.
You got me there with the acquaintance part brother. Apart from a marine engineering degree and just 1 year onboard as a cadet thats all the seagoing experience I have. Hence your advice here is most needed…
Sir here we have a victim
Final promo out:
Aye, plb goes where I go, land or sea.
As was mentioned earlier -you CANNOT connect a moving vessel to a MOB with a line at any speed. Anyone who spent any time water skiing or tubing as a kid knows just how bad it is to not let go of the line or somehow get tangled in it.
Being harnessed to a jackline is common in bad weather on sailboats and it is a death sentence if you fall off and no one stops the boat.
Why all the fuss about trying to get a mile long line to the person? They’re already using drones to augment lifeguards in Australia. The drones are equipped with an inflatable float that they can drop to the victim, then the drone is programmed to hover overhead. I’d wager that the majority of time that someone is lost after going overboard is due to losing track of them when turning around. Give 'em something to hold on to, put a giant flashing beacon over their head, don’t make it too complicated.
