Lightning protection case study: Tanker - Avoiding lightning strikes to the bridge with a lightning rod.
We spoke with shipping companies that are successively installing PDCE on new ships, starting with its introduction on social ships!
We would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of "PDCE-Junior Marine" for a major domestic shipping company focused on oil product tankers. Since installing it on a company ship that entered the dock in 2020, the company has been equipping new ships with this product. "We believe that the cost of PDCE is negligible compared to maintenance expenses, and safety comes first," is the feedback we have received. 【Case Overview】 ■ The current electronically controlled ships are "clusters of circuit boards." ■ Lightning strikes on the bridge can render the ship unable to navigate. ■ PDCE lightning protection balls were installed on the company ships. ■ Trust in the distributor. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
