Keeping Brownsea Island on the move

Posted on September 28, 2023 by nickyyeoman

MV Castello

Proteum’s After Sales Manager Ben Allan enjoyed a day out of the office to support MV Castello, the 12M catamaran built by BW Seacat that first went into operation in 2021 and is fitted with twin Alamarin AJ340 water jets and the superb SIGMA joystick steering system enabling pinpoint steering in close quarters.

Ben was onboard to carry out routine maintenance with the drives now having accumulated over 4000 hours and also update steering sensors, preventative maintenance being crucial to reliability and minimising downtime to any commercial operator.

MV Castello operates at the entrance to Poole Harbour and supports the John Lewis Foundation on Brownsea Island, carrying up to 35 passengers’ cargo, ensuring the smooth running of one of the UK’s most famous National Trust properties.

Proteum is a UK distributor of Alamarin water jets; Alamarin knows the importance of future technologies within the marine industry and has invested heavily in next-generation control and monitoring systems, including fully autonomous operations, remote surveillance and remote monitoring. All are built on the SIGMA CONTROLS platform.
