In-water survival training
Our team recently completed in-water survival training with Powerboat Training NZ, covering a wide range of topics focused on minimising risk and handling various emergency scenarios.
By gaining a deeper understanding of the potential risks aboard a small vessel, the best safety equipment to carry, how it functions and how to use it properly in case of emergencies, we’re now better equipped to handle unexpected situations. Read More

Power interruptions at the marina
As with any building, marinas may experience occasional power interruptions due to unforeseeable circumstances. When this occurs, your vessel's onboard protection devices may also trip, preventing power from being restored to your vessel when it comes back on at the pier.
If you have systems on board that rely on a continuous power supply, such as freezers or battery management systems, we strongly recommend checking your vessel regularly or investing in a monitoring and notification device that will alert you if the power goes out.

As a result, it's common to see mixed waste being offloaded as soon as boats reach shore. However, there’s a simple way we can make a difference. Read More
Li-ion Batteries: handle with care
The use of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries has rapidly expanded, powering everything from our cell phones to hand tools, e-bikes and even vehicles.

Just like fuel or gas, Li-ion batteries store large amounts of potential energy that require careful management. Read More
