MUIR PARTNERS WITH RAVEN MARINE IN TURKEY

About Muir

First class Tasmanian marine craftsmanship, born on the finish line of the Sydney to Hobart Yacht race and forged in the fierce Southern Ocean, is in our DNA.

Since 1968. Built to last.

For over a century the Muir name has been synonymous with ship building and marine engineering, and for over 55 years Muir has been designing and crafting anchor winches and anchoring systems that are the benchmark for performance, quality and innovation.

Our reputation is built on the back of the hard work of our founder, Robert John Muir, who grew up in the portside suburb of Battery Point, down the road from the “Shipwright’s Arms” Hotel. Hailing from a family of seafarers and shipwrights, John was destined from a career in the marine industry, and it was next to his father’s boat building business, that he developed the very first Muir anchor winches. The advice from his father, Jock Muir, continues to prove pivotal in building and maintaining the reputation Muir carries to this day:

“Make sure the winch you design and build is stronger than the deck it’s bolted down to.”

Our team remain committed to honouring this founding vision in our Tasmanian production facility and we now craft anchoring systems for a wide range of vessels.

From a 5-metre vessel to the world’s largest mega yachts, Muir products are requested around the globe and used by leading recreational, mega yacht and commercial maritime brands including Feadship, Luerssen, Incat, Austal, Damen, Moonen, Riviera, Maritimo, and Telwater.

In support of our equipment, our global network of experienced sales managers and service groups combined with a trusted international distribution network, ensures that we can deliver quality anchoring systems and spares to you, no matter what size your vessel is.

To this day, Muir remains an Australian, family owned business, and is the only remaining specialised Anchoring Systems manufacturer.

Industry-Leading Hull Stress Monitoring System Receives ABS SMART PDA

Light Structures’ SENSFIB Hull Stress Monitoring System received the ABS SMART(SHM) Tier 3 Product Design Assessment (PDA) certificate.

The SENSFIB Tier 3 Smart Structural Health Monitoring system employs an industry-leading, fiber optic, sensor-based approach for structural health assessment and prediction, calibrated and verified using high-fidelity data for improved accuracy and reliability.

The system provides information about the stresses on a vessel’s hull from cargo loading, weather conditions and the passage of time through data from several fiber optic strain sensors, accelerometers and graphic user interfaces.

Vessels fitted with the SENSFIB system will be eligible to receive the ABS Class notation SMART(SHM) with vessel records indicating Global Hull and Fatigue, Tier 3.

“Our PDA for Light Structures provides a comprehensive certification solution that demonstrates their commitment to enhanced structural health and condition monitoring. The presence of SMART systems is growing rapidly in the industry, and ABS is proud to add the Light Structures structural monitoring technology to the list of ABS approved SMART products,” said Patrick Ryan, ABS Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer.

The PDA certificate was presented to Niklas Hallgren, CEO of Light Structures, at the ABS world headquarters in Houston.

“We’re delighted to receive a Product Design Assessment for the SMART (SHM) notation by ABS. The certification reflects our unique position to integrate structural health monitoring data with digital and cloud-based platforms, and our ability to improve safety at sea and optimize condition-based maintenance as part of our clients’ digital transformation,” said Hallgren.

Light Structures’ SENSFIB monitoring system is being developed in accordance with the ABS Guide for Smart Functions for Marine Vessels and Offshore Units, which can be found here.
