Seatrade Awards Survival Systems International attended the 21st Seatrade Awards Ceremony Dinner (May 2009) which took place at London’s Guildhall.

Over 350 members of the maritime community celebrating the outstanding contributions made over the last year for safe, efficient and environmentally friendly shipping. Guest of Honour Jim Fitzpatrick MP, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State, Department for Transport, presented the Seatrade “Safety at Sea” 2009 award to SSI for their Triple5 lifeboat release mechanism.

Survival Systems International’s Triple5 hook mechanism was awarded the Seatrade “Safety at Sea” 2009 Award for its innovative design contributing to the safety of the seaman. The Triple5 hook is designed to be retrofitted into existing lifeboats to replace a lifeboat’s existing unstable hooks and for new manufacture lifeboats.

Survival Systems International
“Triple5” hook mechanism provides:

1. An inherently stable hook using a load-over centre design.
2. A design that uses the weight of the boat to hold the hook closed and not to open the hook.
3. A design based on SSI’s current hook that has a 25-year accident free history.
4. Off-load safety with on-load functionality.
