A small ship with great significance

For a few days now, a small but very significant ship has been adorning the entrance area of ​​Weatherdock: the donation collection ship of the German Sea Rescue Association (DGzRS). With this initiative, we would like to support the valuable and tireless work of the sea rescuers who ensure safety at sea every day.

The mission of the DGzRS – rescue in any weather

The DGzRS is responsible for the maritime search and rescue service on the North Sea and Baltic Sea – autonomously and independently. With their state-of-the-art rescue cruisers and boats, the sea rescuers are ready to help people in distress at sea around the clock – and this is financed exclusively by donations. Without volunteers, their life-saving work would not be possible.

 

Why a collection ship at Weatherdock?

As a company dedicated to maritime safety, the topic of sea rescue is particularly important to us. Our AIS rescue transmitters and navigation solutions help to locate people in distress more quickly and make rescue operations more efficient. With the donation collection ship, we not only want to provide financial support, but also draw attention to the importance of this important work.

 

Every contribution counts!

Every euro helps to support the work of the sea rescuers and save lives!

We are proud to be able to contribute a small part to the great mission of the DGzRS and hope that many more will follow this example.

easyTRX3S replaces easyTRX3

The next generation AIS transponder is here!

Technology is constantly evolving – we at Weatherdock are consistently following this path. That’s why we are saying goodbye to the tried and tested easyTRX3 and proudly presenting its powerful successor: the easyTRX3S!

Why the change?

The easyTRX3 has been a reliable companion for skippers and boat owners for years. But with the increasing demands on maritime safety, connectivity and user-friendliness, we have further developed the transponder. The result: The easyTRX3S – an AIS Class B transceiver with IoT connectivity, integrated WiFi as standard and ME SENSE for smart boat monitoring.

What does the new easyTRX3S offer?

  • 5W SOTDMA technology for faster and more reliable AIS data transmission
  • WiFi, GPS, NMEA2000 and antenna splitter integrated as standard
  • ME SENSE Relay for intelligent IoT boat monitoring in real time
  • USB configuration with integrated power supply – can be conveniently set from home
  • Internal memory – data can be read directly on the PC without an external power source
  • Robust, waterproof housing – for use in demanding conditions
  • Various connection options – for easy integration into the on-board system

What does this mean for easyTRX3 users?

The easyTRX3 is officially discontinued, but technical support, repairs and upgrades are still available. For anyone who wants to rely on the latest technology, the easyTRX3S offers a future-proof solution with even more features and smart connections.

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.

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.

The Philippine Coast Guard has taken a closer look at the project. We are proud to be able to hand over our latest AIS rescue transmitter easy2-MOB to the coast guard.

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.

NEW: ME SENSE Switch (ON/OFF)

Did you really turn off the lights when you left the boat? Do you want the fridge to be cold when you go on board? Do you want the room temperature to be pleasantly warm with the help of the heater by the time you get there? No problem with ME SENSE switch!

Switch electrical consumers on and off conveniently using the app

In the app you can see the status of the respective consumer, i.e. whether it is currently switched on or off. Of course, connected devices can be controlled via the app. You need a ME SENSE switch (A22719) for each electrical consumer that you want to connect. You can integrate up to 10 ME SENSE switches per ME SENSE system.

Perfect complement to ME SENSE sensors

With the ME SENSE Basic Set or ME SENSE Advanced Set you lay the foundation for smart boat monitoring. Our range of sensors is growing and can be expanded later without any problems. In addition to various values such as temperature, battery status, air pressure and humidity, you can now also monitor electrical devices with the ME SENSE switch.

 

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.
