Batteries in Maritime	Autonomy at Sea	Alternative Fuels	Tugs, Towing & Salvage

Examining the growing role of batteries in maritime, questioning their green credentials while exploring industry insights, operator experiences and lessons learned from early electric vessel adoption worldwide.	Highlighting the innovators advancing subsea and maritime technology, from autonomous underwater swarms to cloud-connected assets and data-driven predictive models, reshaping how real-time conditions at sea are understood globally today.	Exploring one of the workboat sector’s dilemmas today: which emerging fuels hold the most promise in terms of cost, availability, practicality and performance? Or should we simply clean up the Black Gold?	Looking at how tugs, towing and salvage vessels are adapting to stricter regulations; contemplating new propulsion technologies and alternative fuels; and changing design strategies for one of maritime’s most demanding sectors.

It’s a busy time for Seawork exhibitor Sea Sure, with over 200 SHOCK-WBV shock mitigation units currently in build at the company’s Warsash, UK premises.

Sea Sure SHOCK-WBV shock mitigation unit

“This is the first time we’ve manufactured on this scale for this product,” said Graham Brown, Sea Sure MD. “And we’re delighted to be doing so.”

The recent upscale in production is due to securing a substantial order from a customer for public service use. Sea Sure was able to use its manufacturing expertise to quickly increase production and meet the customer’s deadlines and expectations. This order, along with those already in the books from boatbuilders and retailers, means Sea Sure has moved six staff onto an assembly line, instead of one person building a unit a time.

The factory makes all components for the shock mitigation units inhouse (aside from the shock absorber units made by FOX Factory).

“It’s a very exciting time,” says Graham. “We’re noticing a significant increase in repeat custom as well as these significant orders for fleets. Our SHOCK-WBV units are a fairly recent innovation – we’ve gone through three iterations to get them to their comfortable current form, and now we’re reaping the rewards of our initial customers’ trust in the product. We’ve got RIB manufacturers and boat builders from around the world placing new orders, as well as defence forces and, as word spreads, our consumer distributors are selling out.”

One such example is in Finland where a dealer had six SHOCK-WBV units and struggled early on with the product range. Once the dealer had sold the first couple of units to boat builders things really started to take off. They were soon placing an order for a further 14 units.

“The difference in ride comfort is extreme,” says Graham. “Aside from answering all the health and safety measures surrounding the impact of ‘shock’, our systems make the ride genuinely comfortable. Once people have tried SHOCK-WBV, against what they already own and against other shock mitigation product manufacturers, they come to us to buy.”

Designed, tested and manufactured in the UK to reduce whole body vibration via an under-seat retro-fit shock mitigation system, SHOCK-WBV’s ranges are specifically designed for commercial vessels (C-series), pedestals (P-series) and RIBS (R-series).
