Armstrong Nautical RIB ladder wins Dame Award
Open in new window
Armstrong Nautical Products with their RIB Ladder won the safety category at the DAME AWARDS held at METS. Armstrong Nautical Products are represented in Europe by Tides Marine International.

This surface mounted RIB Ladder means no holes are needed in the pontoons of the RIB. When in use the ladder maintains an outward angle, which prevents it from pushing under the boat. Manufactured in Stainless Steel, the ladder, rated to 180kgs has ABYC H41 standard approval. Like most of Armstrong’s products the ladder is telescopic making it easy to remove and replace.

Tides Marine International’s Managing Director Brian Raine commented: “This is an excellent product that we are excited to be selling throughout Europe. The use of RIBS has increased dramatically over the last few years and we were delighted that Armstrong, with whom we have worked for some time, has won the safety category at the DAME Awards”.

Falmouth Harbour Commission supplied by Tides Marine
Tides Marine has been chosen to supply the Shaft Seals and Smart Seal Alarm System to Falmouth Harbour Commission for their 16m Pilot Vessel “Arrow”. This is first commercial working vessel to be fitted with the new Smart Seal Alarm System.

The pilot boats in Falmouth Harbour regularly achieve in excess of 2,600 working hours per year and down time can be detrimental to the efficient working of the harbour. Will Davies, Assistant Harbour Master explained “We had experienced some problems with vibration and water in the stern seals. Tides Marine offered us the dry, dripless solution. With their experience and knowledge of the systems used, they were able to help resolve the tail gear problems we were facing”.

This is the first large commercial vessel to fit the new Smart Seal Alarm System. The overheat temperature warning system was introduced by Tides Marine earlier this year and has proved essential for keeping maintenance at a minimum. The alarm system is fitted to the Lloyd’s Register certified propeller shaft seals and allows an audible and visual alarm alters operators to any increase in operating temperature. This system allows for continuous running, with low maintenance and no down time for the vessels.

Following the success of this first installation, Tides Marine was the obvious choice for the second Falmouth Harbour Pilot Vessel the “L.K Mitchell” which is currently undergoing a refit.

Tides Marine is based in Poole, UK and is the main overseas distributor for US manufacturer Tides Marine’s range of propeller shaft seals, rudder bearings and mainsail track systems. Their product portfolios also includes Aqualuma underwater lights, Armstrong Nautical ladders and outboard brackets, Tallon Marine accessory mounting system and Transhield boat storage covers. Tides Marine has sales offices in Italy, Spain and Poland. They supply to production boat builders, service facilities, propulsion equipment manufacturers, commercial operators and vessel owners as well as to a network of partners around the world. Tides Marine International has recently obtained its ISO 9001:2008 Certification in recognition of its quality management systems for the supply of marine equipment.
