easyRESCUE along with celebrity chef Tim Mälzer
As part of the TV series “KITCHEN IMPOSSIBLE” on the German TV channel VOX , the celebrity chef Tim Mälzer had to do what a normal matrose do in a frigate of the German Navy. He was not only active in the tasks of the Caboose staff but he also had to participate in a “man overboard” situation. During such an exercise Tim Mälzer can be seen with a lifejacket, inside of which the AIS S.A.R.T. easyRESCUE is.

Weatherdock devices RECEIVE AIS but they also receive ACKNOWLEDGEMENT for their QUALITY too!
The renown magazine YACHT, the largest sailing magazine in Europe, has conducted comprehensive tests on 12 different AIS receivers.
The performance of each product was thoroughly tested; the operability and handling of the devices were assessed, comparing each of the device against the other. In addition, to reviewing the overall functionality, the technical components were also rigorously scrutinized. The investigations focused particularly on issues such as “shield”, “Galvanic mass”, “forwarded data records”, “Current consumption at 12.6 volts„,“multiplexer „and“ receiving power”.
The results were impressive and concluded that Weatherdock’s devices took the lead; the Weatherdock easyAIS-IS receiver with integrated antenna splitter was the overall winner, receiving 96 out of 100 possible points. Closely followed, in second place, was the Weatherdock easyRX2S receiver with 95 points. In third place, with 79 points, is the AMEC Cypho-150 receiver.
The other results ranged between 77 points and 24 points, reflecting a very typical synopsis for yachts owners whom utilize this technology.

Antarctic Endurance 2016, teamwork knows no limits!
January 27. 2016
Have you ever asked yourself what creating a resilient team means? Well, that is exactly what a group of people are trying to find out in the Antarctic – this project is called “The Antarctic Endurance 2016”.
In a two year research program centered on a six weeks sailing and mountaineering expedition in the Antarctic and South Georgia, a century on from Shackleton’s extraordinary recovery from the Weddell Sea, a selected team of Naval Personnel from United Kingdom’s Royal Navy and Royal Marines are celebrating the Endurance Expedition 1914 – 1917. This expedition is now considered the most important expedition of the Antarctic exploration.
Now, in January and February 2016, the Antarctic Endurance 2016 team wants to follow the example of Shackleton, the great sailor of the heroic age of Antarctic exploration. Their purpose is to inspire a new generation of marines and sailors. Their slogan is: inspire celebrate educate
They educate, because they want to research in the key aspects of the dynamics and leadership and they want to show how those can be applied across the full spectrum of military operations, management and business.
Weatherdock and its partner in the United Kingdom, Pinpoint Electronics, have sponsored this initiative, we wish the members of this team success and the fulfilment of their purposes.
We are sure that this mission will not be an easy one, but we do hope that our easyONE gives them a feeling of security in the accomplishment of their expedition.
You can track the progress of this project and keep up to date at their blog: www.antarcticendurance.co.uk or on Twitter @antarctic2016.

easyRESCUE-DIVE, safety for the divers who protect the sea
„Ghost fishing” is a worldwide problem. There are a lot of brave divers who contribute with their work to bring a solution to this problem. They are collecting waste and derelict fishing gear during their dives and they create more public awareness about the serious consequences that this disaster means for our environment.
One of the groups of divers who are doing this valuable work is “GhostFishing”, a member of the Global Ghost Gear Initiative. Weatherdock AG and its partner Holland Marine Hardware, are sponsoring this team. In December 2015, during the assembly of the 45 members of this organization, they delivered the first easyRESCUE- DIVE which will be used to support the divers in the next missions.
“Ghost fishing is a term that describes what happens when derelict fishing gear ‘continues to fish”, this definition and more information can be found in the website of the “GhostFishing” team: www.ghostfishing.org.
We are proud to sponsor this initiative. They help to keep the under-water world clean. We want to help them to dive with safety.

Costal and Border Surveillance Latin America, 27 – 29 October, 2015
Oktober 2015
Diese wichtige Konferenz findet in Rio de Janeiro statt. Sie ist ein wichtiger Schritt zur Vergrößerung des Bewusstseins, dass eine effektive territoriale Sicherung der Länder Südamerikas notwendig ist. Dieser Satz fasst das Ziel der Veranstaltung zusammen, auf der die verfügbaren Technologien vorgestellt und erörtert werden.
Die geografische Besonderheit Südamerikas mit hohen Bergen und großen Gebieten mit Regenwald stellt eine große Herausforderung an jede Institution dar, die für die Sicherung der verschieden Länder diese großen Kontinents verantwortlich sind.
Weatherdock ist vor Ort präsent, um mit dem „Echtzeit-UKW-Tracking-System“ vmsTRACK seinen möglichen Beitrag zu dieser Problematik beizutragen. Wir denken und hoffen, dass unsere jahrelange Erfahrung auf dem Gebiet der Funktechnologie hier die zuständigen Behörden hilfreich unterstützen kann.

Weatherdock winner at YACHTING MONTHLY
Yachting Monthly magazine reports in its issue of September 2015 about a comparison of six AIS emergency beacons that are on the market, including two devices of the company Weatherdock: the AIS MOB easyONE and the AIS S.A.R.T. easyRESCUE-PRO.
The editorial team conducted the tests at sea, specifically in Solent, south coast of England. After getting permission from local authorities (Solent Coastguard) they proceeded to evaluate each of the AIS beacons, checking if the emergency AIS message was received properly by their Garmin receiver they had onboard. After testing the units they gave their verdict and rated from 1 to 10 each of the devices.
In these tests Yachting Monthly rated the AIS S.A.R.T. easyRESCUE- PRO (including additional DSC distress functionality) with 7/10 and the AIS MOB easyONE with 8/10 being the easyONE the best qualified of all the AIS emergency beacon which were tested.
In its verdict on the easyONE, the editorial team provides this argument:
We like the lightness and simplicity of this device, its ability to transmit for 36 hours, and its 7 years battery shelf life. We also like the fact that it floats and can be activated automatically without relying on a conscious MOB or the inflating bladder of a lifejacket to trigger it.
The full report can be read in the September 2015 edition of Yachting Monthly.
