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.

Seawork success

Posted on June 29, 2023June 29, 2023 by nickyyeoman

Speed@Sea has come back to Cowes, IoW and relocated to the Royal Yacht Squadron this year. It provides a picturesque backdrop to present the latest in high-speed craft. Delegates from UK MOD Small Boats teams, along with representatives from international Navy and SAR organisations, have taken the chance to sea trial various boats and, of course, the OXE Marine 300hp diesel outboard that is distributed by Proteum.

The delegates provided consistently positive feedback regarding the engine’s performance, with particular praise for its quiet operation even at high speeds. The engine’s impressive capabilities were highly appreciated.

Seawork’s primary event occurs at Mayflower Park in Southampton. With a spacious stand on land and a demonstration boat on the pontoon, Proteum was excellently positioned to engage with both new and existing customers throughout the three-day exhibition.

Enquiries were plentiful with visitors requesting more information on the various engines and propulsion and control systems that Proteum distribute.
