Leading marine safety specialist, Ocean Safety is to launch a revolutionary addition to its popular MOB Jon Buoy range.
Ideal for bulkhead stowage, the Jon Buoy Recovery Module MK 6 Valise is a full man overboard solution enabling deployment of a device that can locate, support and recover an MOB.
The valise version allows the Jon Buoy Recovery Module to be fitted to vessels where an over water fitting option is not possible and is an ideal addition to pilot boats, port control work boats and other commercial vessels. In addition, the Jon Buoy can now be mounted on a bridge wing of a larger vessel for easy deployment with the MOB light-smoke signal.
Incorporating the new bulkhead mounting solution, the latest version allows the Jon Buoy to be manually deployed for MOB recovery. On impact with water the module inflates automatically, immediately providing a highly visible safe haven.
The MOB is also recovered horizontally, which is particularly important with a possible hypothermic casualty, reducing the chance of complications or cardiac arrest during recovery.
Additional key features include intuitive boarding assistance, tailored buoyancy design, integrated water stability system, lifting harness and aesthetic slimline Valise available in orange or white.
“This revolutionary addition to our MOB recovery range is designed for optimal bulkhead stowage, enhancing safety and convenience on board, " says Alistair Hackett, Managing Director at Ocean Safety.
Designed and manufactured to meet the needs of vessels complying with the SOLAS/MED requirements, the Ocean SOLAS Throw-Over Ellipse Liferaft is also now available as a MER (Red Ensign) approved liferaft to support UK flagged commercial vessels.
Universally sized, the liferaft’s cylindrical container has been designed to fit specifically into the existing cradles and mountings onboard most commercial vessels, offering ferries, crew transfer vessels, tugs and superyachts the option to be equipped with the Ocean SOLAS throw-over liferafts without needing to upgrade their onboard stowage.
