Shock Mitigation Solutions For Boat Owners & Operators

• Training To Comply With EU Vibration Legislation
  Specialist Shock Mitigation courses for professional operators of RIBs and fast craft are essential to areas affected by EU Legislation. This training is relevant to anyone who wants to understand the forces involved when using fast craft. Contact us to find out more.

• Research & Development Seminars
  Seminars to present Shock Mitigation research and development relevant to professional operators, experienced private owners, and helmsmen of fast craft and RIBs. Contact us for further information.

• Exchange Of Information
  Please email us if you are interested in sharing your experience with us regarding operation of RIBs and fast craft or if you are interested in learning more about the above.

Shock Mitigation Objectives

• Reduce Operator Injury
  Having used RIBs for over 20 years we come from the practical side of fast craft training. From our own experiences we have specialist knowledge of injury prevention and recovery.

• Improve Operational Efficiency
  Professional RIB operators can be on the water for extended periods and in extreme conditions. A high incidence of injuries to fast craft helms & crews affects individual & organisational performance.

• Increase Awareness Of Shock & Vibration At Sea
  Causes of 'shock' are random 'hits' of up to 15G from head sea impacts or overtaking following seas. Causes of 'vibration' are continuous 'hammering' such as short steep seas or wind against tide conditions.

There is no 'one off solution' due to the evolving situations created by faster boats and greater human expectations. Changing operational requirements such as higher fuel costs can lead to smaller boats operating for longer periods.

We believe that RIBs and fast craft can be made safer by improvements to workstation design and specialist training. This process is part of shock mitigation.
