Rolling out new products FROM THE EDITOR In the Global Review in this issue we summarise some of the highlights in the marina industry for 2014. The review looks primarily at marina developments and ongoing projects rather than the specific equipment developed over this period. But manufacturers were busy, too. SF Pontona launched Prodock – a lightweight, long-life, corrosion-free and cheaper alternative to heavy-duty concrete pontoons; Green Bay Systems in Norway released a composite finger pontoon system; Voyager Industries added Titan Deck Open X-Series decking boards to its portfolio; Bellingham Marine installed its firstever composite walers on a dock system at Dania Beach, Florida; and Superior rolled out Waterscape, the first commercial and domestic Adaptive Floating System (AFS), in Australasia and Europe. Waterscape won the International Superyacht Society (ISS) Excellence in Innovation Award. Eaton Marina Power & Lighting introduced the IEC power pedestal, a stainless steel unit styled to comply with IEC 709 standards; Rolec developed exclusive superpowerful Megamaster units for the superyacht market; TDI Products introduced inbuilt ground protection for its Ensign units as ‘protection in the pedestal’; and Maricer launched the sleek semi-recessed Neptune pedestal range and, most recently, the Admiral Control metering and control system. HyPower added a host of extra power distribution products to its extensive portfolio and Seijsener developed an enhanced, customised Atlantic pedestal for service in Dubai. Poralu Marine subsidiary Nautiscaphe released its Ellipse anchorage system for the open ocean and DualDocker introduced a universal soft adapter for use with its docking arm for large-boat mooring. Spanish company Silkus installed its first OneSailor boat mooring device and launched the system to marina operators worldwide via the OneSailor International Marina Network. HydroHoist released HydroLaunch control options and the HarborHoist level lifting frame and Marine Travelift contributed to the drystack sector with the all-new M2300 Mariner forklift. Kropf Industrial delivered the first self-propelled version of its innovative Conolift sling lift trailer to an Ontario-based marina and Wiggins Lift manufactured a negativemast marina lift for Sanibel Harbour Yacht Club in Ft Myers, Florida, that is believed to be the largest of its kind in the world. Scribble Software launched a true native marina-specific mobile app as part of its new Marina and Recreational Internet Applications Home (MARIAH) and released MarinaOffice 7.7, the most powerful in the series to date. Last but not least, Poralu Group sister company Rotax launched All Nautica; a one-stop equipment and accessories business. Further innovation is sure to follow in the months to come. I wish you all the best for 2015.
