Leading marine safety specialist, Ocean Safety will be launching a revolutionary addition to its popular MOB Jon Buoy range - the Jon Buoy Recovery Module MK 6 Valise, at the renowned SMM commercial trade show in Germany.

Taking place in the major commercial port of Hamburg between 3-6 September 2024, the world's leading trade fair and conference event for the maritime industry brings together over 40,000 participants from over 120 countries.

Jon Buoy Recovery Module MK 6 - Valise

Ocean Safety is thrilled to be showcasing its latest product at this year's SMM event. 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.

"We are delighted to unveil the Jon Buoy Recovery Module MK 6 Valise at SMM 2024," says Alistair Hackett, Managing Director at Ocean Safety. "This revolutionary addition to our MOB recovery range is designed for optimal bulkhead stowage, enhancing safety and convenience on board."

Ocean Safety will also be displaying an extensive range of its eponymous commercial marine safety equipment, including its Ocean SOLAS Throw-Over Ellipse Liferaft.

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.

Ocean Safety will also be exhibiting its latest Ocean SOLAS Compact Liferaft at the show. Designed and developed in-house, the SOLAS Compact is a progression of the military range which it has supplied to the MOD for over ten years.

On the stand, Ocean Safety will also be exhibiting its range of MOB recovery equipment and comprehensive collection of lifejackets, as well as presenting a broad range of commercial safety products from its core suppliers AquaSpec and Ocean Signal.

The Ocean Safety team of international marine safety experts will be on hand throughout the show to offer advice on its full range of lifesaving products, as well as on hire, servicing schedules and coding.

"Ocean Safety Sales Director - Mark Acaster, comments; "We are looking forward to showcasing our extensive array of marine safety products to the wider commercial market and illustrate Ocean Safety's commitment to the maritime commercial sector. SMM provides an exclusive opportunity for us to connect, exchange ideas and demonstrate our commitment to advancing marine safety."
