ROD FOR DRAFT SURVEY "ALEXX II"READ VESSEL'S DRAFT FROM THE SCREEN OF YOUR MOBILE PHONE |
Hi guys!
Let me introduce the new ALEXX II – “Rod for Draft Survey”.
None of the surveyors likes to use the rope ladder to read outside draught marks, especially in wintertime. There are warm and life jackets, safety belts flashlights on you, and in addition - your own weight is close to 100 kg! Is it hard? Is it dangerous?
YES, indeed!
I'm sure you are strong enough to do it, but please, save your power for your girlfriend!☺
New equipment "Alexx II" will help you to read outside draught marks from the screen of your mobile phone while staying on the deck and without going down by rope ladder, zoom view, and record video of the vessel’s draught marks, if necessary.
SAFETY - first of all!
You can perform all of this with help of a waterproof camera mounted on a frame, which is lowering overboard to the water level and transmit video via Wi-Fi to the screen of your mobile phone!
Using the equipment "Alexx II" you will be able:
- Read all sea-side draught marks and shore-side mid-draught marks, if it's covered by shore fender
- Read and record video of vessel draft in the day or nighttime
- Watch your video recordings in case of any doubts and disagreements
- Define average mid-draft in rough weather applying Draught Tube and "Alexx II"
- Supply your clients with video confirmation of drafts
- Take pictures of any small damages on the hull during on/off-hire inspections
- Perform training for new cargo officers and surveyors using video recordings of vessel draft
- Perform your job SAFELY, easier, and more interesting!

Tips:
- High waves - the heavier weight of sink-stone (not more than 2-3 kg)
- Do not forget about the angle of view of your camera - please watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3zf7mPs1xM
- Read the vessel draft from the camera at the level of the water (horizontally and precisely)
- In strong winds, to stop the camera from swinging and twisting, temporarily lower it into the water and lift it up.
- Tie the ribbon stabilizer to the frame to avoid twisting in the wind
- You can change the length of your rod easily
How to buy:
If you have estimated all the advantages and benefits of the new equipment "Alexx II" and decided to use it, you will need:

Please note, that the large shipping companies such as “Anglo-Eastern” and “Pacific Basin” in Hong Kong have already purchased and equipped all of their bulkers with equipment "Alexx" (including Draught Tube). This indicates the real concern of the company's management about the SAFETY of their crews.
Cargo Officers can order the a/m equipment via their company’s Purchasing Department:
- Send them your order.
- Explain the reason. (For example: Required to be o/b during draft surveys in a rough sea, or open waters. Reduce errors in draft readings.)
- Mark that the production is ASBESTOS FREE IN ACCORDANCE WITH SOLAS ll-1, REGULATION 3-5, and MSC.1/CIRC.1379
