NEW: ME SENSE Sensor – Position

You can now also use the ME SENSE boat monitoring system as theft protection and anchor alarm. This can be easily retrofitted with the ME SENSE Sensor Position.

Anti-theft protection and anchor alarm

The sensor is installed quickly and easily. It is connected to the on-board battery and mounted in the interior. Now all you have to do is connect the sensor to the ME SENSE app using the QR code on the sensor and the position of the boat can be displayed in the smartphone app.

The ME SENSE position sensor now has two very important functions. On the one hand, theft protection, because the app sounds an alarm – in the form of a push notification – when the boat leaves the defined position.
On the other hand, there is the anchor alarm, which informs you as soon as your boat leaves a floating area that has been predefined in the app.

Perfect addition to ME SENSE Basic or ME SENSE Advanced Set

With the ME SENSE Basic Set or ME SENSE Advanced Set you lay the foundation for smart boat monitoring. These sets can be expanded at any time to include up to 20 ME SENSE sensors and 10 ME SENSE switches.

 

NOTE: All ME SENSE switches and sensors can only be used in conjunction with a ME SENSE relay!
The ME SENSE app is free to download, a subscription is required to register the sensor.

Milestone: 1 million mangroves planted in Malizia Mangrove Park

The first and most important milestone has been reached! Team Malizia planted the first 1 million mangroves with the help of the Mama Earth Foundation and numerous donors.

1,000,000 mangroves planted in Malizia Mangrove Park

When founding the Malizia Mangrove Park, Boris Herrmann and his team had a big goal: 1 million mangroves for the Malizia Mangrove Park. This milestone has now been reached. But the project doesn’t end there. Now we have to reach the next milestone of 2 million.


Why mangroves? Because mangrove trees are basically an all-rounder. They protect the coasts, provide habitat for endangered species, create jobs and also absorb an extremely high proportion of CO2.

Weatherdock AG supports Team Malizia’s climate project

We are proud that we were able to contribute to this. In 2023, for every easy2-MOB rescue transmitter sold, we donated 10 mangroves to the Malizia Mangrove Park. We would therefore also like to thank our customers enormously.

easy2-MOB for Philippine Coast Guard

The Philippine Coast Guard visited the Malizia Mangrove Park and inspected the sponsorship project. On this occasion, our latest AIS rescue transmitter easy2-MOB was handed over to the coast guard for testing.​

Mangroves against climate change

Since the beginning of 2023, Weatherdock AG has been supporting Boris Herrmann’s “1,000,000 mangroves for the Malizia Mangrove Park” project. Mangrove trees absorb an extremely large amount of climate-damaging CO2 compared to a tree on land. The Mama Earth Foundation takes care of the cultivation and planting of the mangroves.
Thanks to the numerous easy2-MOB buyers, we were able to have over 14,000 mangroves planted in 2023.

NEW: ME SENSE Sensor – Battery

Do you have more than one battery on board that you want to monitor? No problem with the external ME SENSE battery sensor. Simply connect it to the desired battery, connect it to the ME SENSE relay and monitor it from anywhere using the app.

Monitor more than one battery on board

The ME SENSE Relay has a built-in voltmeter as standard to monitor the on-board battery. If you have more than one battery on board, you can now easily expand the system.

Perfect addition to ME SENSE Basic or ME SENSE Advanced Set

With the ME SENSE Basic Set or ME SENSE Advanced Set you lay the foundation for smart boat monitoring. These sets can be expanded at any time to include up to 20 sensors and 10 actuators – i.e. ME SENSE switches.

 

NOTE: All ME SENSE switches and sensors can only be used in conjunction with a ME SENSE relay!
The ME SENSE app is free to download, a subscription is required to register the sensor.

Weatherdock supports the “Deutschland STIPENDIUM” scholarship

Compared to other industrialized nations, relatively few students receive scholarships in Germany. To change that, the Technical University of Nuremberg Georg Simon Ohm has been awarding “Deutschlandstipendium” scholarships to its own students since 2011. The Deutschlandstipendium scholarships are financed by companies, institutions and individuals, as well as with funds from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
 
We are pleased that we can support a student of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology from the winter semester 2023. As a leading manufacturer of electronic products in the maritime sector, we are regularly looking for reinforcements for our team and are happy to be in contact with young talents.

Weatherdock supports climate project

Finally the sale of the new rescue transmitter “easy2-MOB” from Weatherdock has started.
It is the only one of its kind (MOB) according to the new 2022 standard and has full DSC in addition to AIS.
In addition to complying with the standard, improved usability was our top priority. Thanks to our new, intuitive app, operation and programming is now even easier and clearer.
 
But those who decide to buy an easy2-MOB not only protect themselves in an emergency. For every easy2-MOB sold, we donate 10 mangroves to the Malizia Mangrove Park. We proudly support the project “1,000,000 mangroves for the Malizia Mangrove Park” initiated by Boris Herrmann.
This means that for every easy2-MOB, 10 trees are planted in the Philippines in cooperation with the Mama Earth Foundation. Compared to other trees, mangroves bind a large amount of CO2 and therefore contribute to restoring the climate balance in the long term.

The NEW RESCUE Database: One account – multiple devices

What is the RESCUE database?

The RESCUE database is a free service from Weatherdock AG. Every owner of an easyRESCUE or easyONE rescue transmitter from Weatherdock can create an account and register their rescue transmitter there.

 

What has changed in the new RESCUE database?

Many customers have wished to be able to manage several rescue transmitters centrally in one account. In order to fulfill this wish, we have completely redesigned the database. In the old version of the RESCUE database, there was a separate account for each rescue beacon; login was via device ID and password. The login to the new RESCUE database is now via email address and a self-determined password. After registering, you will receive an email with a confirmation link to activate your account. If you don’t have an email in your inbox, please check your spam folder.

As usual, personal data, emergency contacts and the ship can be stored in the database. All devices and addresses of all crew members can now be managed easily and clearly in one account.

 

What will happen to the old RESCUE database?

An updated version of the RESCUE database was already available in 2019 to comply with the GDPR regulations. We have shut down this database. We therefore ask all users who were already registered there, to register again in the new RESCUE database. Unfortunately, due to the new data structure, it was not possible for us to transfer the data from the old database to the new one.

Vendée Globe rescue operation shows: Modern rescue transmitters should be a matter of course

On December 1st, 2020, the Vendèe Globe non-stop regatta saw a dramatic scene that you would otherwise only expect in a film. A participant’s yacht broke in the high waves. Eight hours other participants, including Boris Herrmann, searched for the victim in high waves and strong winds.

 

Fortunately, on the night of December 2nd, 2020 the redeeming news came that the victim had been rescued and is well.

 

Unfortunately, the victim did not have an AIS rescue transmitter on his personal equipment, as it has been used by responsible water sports enthusiasts, navies and maritime authorities for a long time. For this reason, other Vendée participants were quickly assigned search sectors in order to find and rescue the victim. The search sectors were very close-knit, with only 600 meters between the passages. Searching a zone would have taken a total of up to 20 hours. According to Boris Herrmann, it was the, luckily successful, search for a needle in a haystack. But everyone involved is aware that this disaster could have ended differently.

 

Modern distress rescue transmitters transmit GPS position including drift course and drift speed of an accident victim
– At any time of day, in any weather and in any swell!

 

The 8-hour-search would not have been necessary with a modern emergency rescue transmitter, as the GPS position including the drift course and drift speed of the victim would have been clearly visible on the chart plotters of the surrounding ships. Rescue transmitters such as the easyRESCUE-PRO3 from Weatherdock use not only AIS but also DSC and 121.5 Mhz bearing signals and can be displayed with coordinates on the chart plotter by all ships and boats and located directly by aircrafts without searching. Boris Herrmann also relied on our easyRESCUE rescue transmitter for years.

The ultimate rescuer would have had the exact GPS position a few minutes after the accident on the chart plotter of the “Yes we Cam” and could have targeted and saved the victim. The rescue operation would have taken only a fraction of the time despite the difficult conditions.

This event clearly shows that even the most experienced sailor is not protected from an accident and, in our opinion, a modern rescue transmitter is essential for every sailor. We therefore appeal to common sense to equip yourself with a modern rescue transmitter. This can save lives in an emergency.

 

We wish all participants of the Vendèe Globe Regatta every success for the rest of the event and hope that there will be no further disaster.

Boris Herrmann, equipped with an easyRESCUE rescue transmitter.

IUU – illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing

The German Weatherdock AG is supporting the fight against this threat with its authority proven real-time-tracking devices.

IUU is getting more and more important these days as this is a serious threat to sustainable fishing and a huge damage of the marine environment. To reduce the IUU problem the VHF based “real-time-tracking” devices vmsTRACK-PRO by the German Weatherdock AG are the most suitable and cost effect solution possible in the market.

To identify even small artisanal fishing vessels along the coastline as well as bigger offshore going fishing vessels is the high goal. Authorities need to have reliable position reports of every member of the fleet. What are, at the end the requirements and how to fulfil these?

 

A Low-Cost Vessel Tracker must be high reliable and sustain which works on AIS principles. It would be perfect also, if the possibility to set customized frequencies is given is the case that the authorities want to make “closed” user groups.

A must should be that the unit is completely equipped with the VHF (AIS) radio antenna and GPS receiver in one compact package. Further important requests of Fisherman are:

 

  • Main unit mounted 1-2m above sea level
  • Out of the way of fisherman/user/pleasure boat captain, but achievable in case of emergency
  • Antenna height guaranteed – results in long range
  • Equipment must be LOW Cost
  • No monthly recurring costs.
  • No subscription
  • No cost per message.
  • Radiated power of at least 3W so that minimum range is guarantied
  • Battery powered where power on boat is not available or only from time to time.
  • Long battery life time if no power from boat
  • Variable reporting rates
  • Autonomous reporting
  • Alert reporting
  • Separate ALERT button
  • Geofences

 

A lot of countries around the world did several functionality and transmission range tests and decided to use the vmsTRACK-PRO system, as the system does fulfill all the above stated requests. Face to face performance tests done from market follower devices by these authorities pointed out that the vmsTRACK-PRO is on pole position combining reliable high quality technology with a huge range of useful features and the best performance.

 

Weatherdock wants to support third world countries to export their fish catches into European Union without getting blacklisted because of IUU. By means of persistent position reporting and route data storage the fishing vessels are able to document where and when the catch was done.

 

Geo-Fencing and additional “push-to-alert” button

Special areas of non-entering or non-leaving can be programmed easily into every vmsTRACK-PRO unit which is placed aboard the fishing vessel. Additional to all the tracking functionality there is a “push-to-alert” button which increases the safety of the fishermen especially on the small artisanal vessels. In event of pushing the alert button a AIS MOB safety message is send out into the standardized AIS traffic system that every vessel in the vicinity of the victim is able to help as fast as possible.

 

Company Profile

Weatherdock AG, based in Nuremberg, is the leading manufacturer of electronic safety and navigation devices, which are used in the pleasure boating sector, but also in the commercial shipping sector. The company was founded in 2003 as a privately owned stock corporation. The development of all products takes place in Nuremberg, the production takes place exclusively in Germany.
