PRODUCT FOCUS VoltSafe is going to disrupt the power supply and delivery space, a sector ripe for innovation. The safety aspect of VoltSafe products should set new regulatory standards and change how power cords are connected to devices. Marine electrification needs VoltSafe’s technology.” The interest in VoltSafe Marine extends beyond pleasure-craft boaters and marinas and into industrial shipping and national defence too. Learning about VoltSafe’s technology and marine solution, Alex Rueben, executive director of the Association of British Columbia Marine Industries and former chief operating officer of the Canadian Navy, stated: “This plug will set a new standard for marine electrical safety and adds further ‘smart’ capabilities that promise to accelerate the electrification of vessel fleets. This is an exciting technology addressing a real need.” Reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs) through electrification is the future, but energy management is equally as important. VoltSafe believes what gets measured gets managed, and has built its connectors with smart capabilities that allow a user to monitor power being used at the outlet level. With this IoT-enabled connectivity, boaters can manage a boat’s power usage from a smart phone, and a marina operator can manage every slip from a single dashboard, all while relying on the With VoltSafe’s power management software the marina operator can manage every slip from a single dashboard. Smart adaptors ensure safe and secure connection. safest standard in marine electrical safety. Sanad Aridah, VoltSafe’s CTO, describes the root benefits as follows: “An investment in a VoltSafe Marine connector is like getting an insurance policy on your vessel. Along with previously unattainable levels of safety, energy usage also comes into play with the electrification of boats becoming increasingly popular. The accompanying VoltSafe mobile application will help boat owners and marinas reduce their power consumption effectively.” Elisabeth Charmley, executive director and co-founder of the Vancouver Maritime Centre for Climate, added: “As electrification of assets proliferates, VoltSafe’s patented plug and outlet connectors will play a key role in energy management – VoltSafe is ahead of the curve.” VoltSafe recently received its eighth patent approval, and approvals are still pending in 40 additional countries. “VoltSafe’s patented technology is the engine that drives prongless (conductive) connectors delivering safe, simple and smart-enabled solutions. Protecting our IP enables us to optimise opportunities for licensing agreements, proliferating our technology worldwide. We are currently placing heavy focus on advancing our technology within the marine industry, a sector that is ready and primed for safer, ultraconvenient shore power solutions that save lives, money and reduce GHG impact,” Burgess added. Earlier this year, VoltSafe earned a CES 2023 Innovation Award. The company will be exhibiting at several trade shows this year, including IBEX in Tampa, Florida, this October, taking centre-stage in the Tech Talk Theater to deliver a one-hour presentation of its marine application as a solution for marine EV and shore power. VoltSafe will also be attending Metstrade in Amsterdam for the second consecutive year. A final word of approval comes from marina operator, Mauricio Guerra Navarro, dock operations coordinator at Coal Harbour Marina in Vancouver. “VoltSafe Marine is the most modern and convenient way of shore power solutions; a fully integrated shore power system with optimised functionalities,” he says. “It’s easy to use and convenient for manual plug-in. With VoltSafe, there are no complicated plug-ins, no more hassles and no more need of twist locks that usually fail. Integrated with a modernised software app, with true live monitoring, it’s extremely user-friendly for captains and boat enthusiasts, as well as marina and facility operators. [It’s an] all in one product destined to cover all the needs of the industry. It is extremely convenient and a great tool to survey the use and distribution of electric power in the marina/dock grid. This is definitely the future of shore power.” For a limited time, VoltSafe is inviting select marina operators across North America to join a beta pilot programme to conduct a large-scale test of its patented technology within an active marina. As part of this pilot, each marina will actively test the control box and pedestal-side connectors retrofit onto a small number of existing pedestals and have access to VoltSafe’s power management software. Marina test partners are required to place a refundable deposit for the beta units. At the end of the test project, these beta units can also be converted into a purchase order for first-access to commercial units at a later date.
