Its LifeLadder product is now to be found in 14 different countries around the world. Bright yellow in colour to ensure visibility throughout the day and with a solar powered ‘LightUnit’ that provides visibility in the dark, LifeLadder is the contemporary alternative to traditional quayside wall ladders. It is significantly lower in weight than older styles, is easy to handle and install, maintenance-free, and non-corrosive due to its UV-stable synthetic modules. The start-up is backed by industryrelevant investors and is led by a board with maritime industry experience. The aim from the outset has been to create an innovative product that improves safety at ports and marinas worldwide and, as Port-Safety managing director Kim Haaning points out, “LifeLadder has the potential to save lives as it makes the access to safety visible to the person in distress both day and night.” E: info@port-safety.com Kerry Marriott Kerry Marriott, MDL Marinas head of operations (central and Chichester), has achieved her Certified Marina Professional (CMP) accreditation with British Marine and the Global Marina Institute. After completing her Advanced Marina Manager’s course in Athens, Greece in 2018, she was presented with her professional certification in January. Marriott joined MDL in 2000 and has forged her career from an administrator to head of operations. Over the past 12 months she has been managing MDL’s Hamble, Southampton and Chichester Harbour marinas. Everett Babbitt Everett Babbitt, CEO of Bellingham Marine, is to retire on 31st December this year. Following his retirement, he will continue to serve as a director of the company. Babbitt joined Bellingham in 1984 performing a variety of roles until 2004 when he was named president and CEO. He has expanded Bellingham’s global reach and tripled annual revenues. The company now claims to build more coastal projects annually than its competitors combined. “As with many of my colleagues, I have been incredibly fortunate to be able to spend my career with Bellingham Marine,” he said. “I believe our success is based on our commitment to innovation, building a superior product, serving our clients’ needs and hiring top talent.” Bellingham Marine owner and chairman, Joe Ueberroth, shared his appreciation of Babbitt’s contributions. “We have been extremely fortunate to have Everett at the helm of our company for the better part of the last two decades,” he noted. “Having him continue on as a member of our board and available for special projects provides our team with confidence that we will take this transition in stride.” 54 www.marinaworld.com - March/April 2019
