VoltSafe Marine has completed safety certification testing to UL and CSA standards, moving its intelligent shore power platform from pilot activity towards commercial deployment across the US marina market.
The certification supports the company’s plans to offer marina operators, yacht clubs and marina groups a modernised dockside power system built around patented prongless magnetic shore power technology, connected dock hardware and cloud-based software.
VoltSafe says the platform is intended to address ageing marina electrical infrastructure, including corrosion, damaged connections, current leakage, electrical fire risk and higher power demand from boats using modern onboard systems.
“Marina operators shouldn’t have to choose between safer infrastructure and better economics,” said Trevor Burgess, chief executive and co-founder of VoltSafe.
“We’ve spent years developing and validating a technology designed to address both.”
Testing and deployment
He added: “With certification testing complete, we’re now in a position to bring VoltSafe Marine to US operators looking to modernise their electrical infrastructure and get more from the power already running through their docks.”
The milestone follows research and development, third-party testing and deployments across North America, including a partnership with the Port of San Diego.
VoltSafe says certification readiness opens the way for wider marina use of its electrical infrastructure platform.
“The opportunity isn’t simply to replace an aging shore power receptacle,” said Sanad Aridah, chief technology officer and co-founder of VoltSafe.
“We’re giving marina operators an intelligent electrical infrastructure platform that can help them understand what is happening on their docks, respond to problems faster, manage power more effectively and make better decisions about their infrastructure.”
