Commercial, security and yacht rated marine equipment

FLIR Systems has launched its highest yet specification maritime handheld thermal imaging camera at the METS Show in Amsterdam.

FLIR BHM-Series cameras have a bi-ocular format body, allowing both eyes to be used to more easily detect small objects. The BHM-Series offers resolution up to 640 x 480 and up to 4x digital zoom, depending upon the model selected — unrivalled performance from a handheld device.

FLIR Systems has introduced four significant new thermal imaging cameras - two models in the new MS-Series handheld range, plus the long-range M-612L and gyroscopically stabilised, tracking enabled Voyager III. These additions address identified niches to cater for rapidly expanding maritime interest in infrared night vision technology, with applications from RIBs and small sailing craft right up to superyachts and commercial vessels.

Finnish company Lasersec Systems Corporation has appointed du Pré Marine as its exclusive commercial distributor for the UK.

Lasersec specialises in the development and manufacture of non-lethal laser systems designed to track and deter threats to vessels and other assets. The company's SeaLase and SeaTrack products provide defence solutions for superyachts, commercial ships, offshore installations, naval vessels and port facilities. Lasersec Systems is rapidly acquiring an excellent reputation in the field of anti-piracy operations.
