NorMar introduced to the maritime market
27 October 2004
Norwegian Maritime Equipment AS, leading Norwegian supplier of offshore and maritime equipment, has developed a new, complete program of lifeboats and rescueboats. The program is currently introduced to the market under the brand name NorMar, and embraces a full scope of enclosed lifeboats, free-fall lifeboats, semi-enclosed lifeboats and rescueboats.
Enclosed lifeboats
Included in the program are enclosed lifeboats of a variety of sizes, from 5.0m to 9.35m. The capacity varies from 22 to 102 persons. These boats comes in cargo as well as tanker versions. Standard propulsion is Bukh diesel, but other engine makes are optional.
Free-fall lifeboats
Also free-fall lifeboats can be delivered in many sizes, from 4.9m to 8.5m and corresponding capacities from 19 to 48 persons. The drop height can be as much as 25m. The free-fall lifeboats comes in both cargo and tanker versions, and can be delivered with a number of engine options. Standard engine is Bukh.
Semi-enclosed lifeboats
The program also includes semi-enclosed lifeboats with capacity from 45 to 150 persons, and corresponding lengths from 7.5m to 9.6m. Bukh propulsion is standard, but other makes are optional.
Rescueboats
NorMar's scope of rescuboats consists of a number of versions with capacity from six to 15 persons and lengths from 4.25m to 7.5m. The rescueboats are equipped with either outboard motors or inboard engine with waterjet.
Regardless of type and size, all boats are deliverd with BV-EC certificates. On request all rescue equipment can be delivered with alternative certificates.
Over the last couple of years Norwegian Maritime Equipment AS has had a steady increase in the deliveries of life-saving equipment, e. g. provided many ship owners and major offshore companies like Bergesen, IUM, AGIP, Singel Buoy Morings ans Stolt Offshore with complete life-saving packages.
Norwegian Maritime Equipment AS is currently working to extend the scope of the NorMar products, and will continously introduce new life-saving items to the market – as it recently did with the world's biggest enclosed lifeboat and the world's smallest fre-fall lifeboat.
