Briggs Marine’s client, the Port of Ramsgate, required an upgrade to their existing Aids to Navigation (AtoN) system. Due to advancements in lantern and battery technology, Briggs were able to replace their current leading light with a state-of-the-art, self-contained solar lantern, which is capable of a range of up to 14 nautical miles.

Planning had been ongoing for several weeks focusing on risk assessments, permits and permissions to meet both Briggs’ and the clients HSE requirements. The replacement was completed in a matter of hours with the new system resulting in a considerable cost saving for the client.
