Advanced Sea Training Nautical Brigade of Dunkirk

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

Sharpening Skills

The Dunkirk Nautical Bbrigade (National Police DDSP59) wanted to improve its technical skills in terms of navigation for its security missions, surveillance in the port of Dunkirk, on the SEVESO sites, intervention in the context of the fight against immigration clandestine, etc.

Advanced Sea Training

On the OLM program there was reading and analysis of the passage of waves, on-board electronic management, group cohesion and hardening through evolution in an anxiety-provoking environment.

I’ve published another video about this kind of adequate training.

Ullman’s Approach to Get Cockpits Fit for Task

Ullman at HSBO

CEO Carl Magnus Ullman from Ullman Dynamics gave an impressive scientifically based presentation on the HSBO 2018 about the importance of mitigation seats in combination with consoles.

Preventing injuries is the ultimate goal.

The outcome of their thorough research applies to us all, whether you are a pro or a pleasure boater, tall or small.

I’m nearly 2 m and weigh about 96 kg and I must say that during all my testing of motorboats I never encountered a “body safe” place behind the console. Mass production has the upper hand.

No wonder why their product stands out of the competition and I’m not just saying that because they’re a Friend of RIBs ONLY.

They are scientifically proven to provide better shock mitigation than any other seats. That’s why their product sets the ultimate benchmark and the standard.

I know for certain that some of you here know how important serious seats are for the health on short but especially on long term and being able to perform the job in rough seas, day after day. Sometimes at high speeds…
