Liferaft and Lifejacket servicing experts, Suffolk Marine Safety, have agreed to explain what they do, and what they find, when servicing our kit, and give us a demonstration of MOB procedures. They will also show us their range of the latest electronic safety equipment including laser flares, EPIRBs and MOB alerts.
This is a good opportunity for you to leave your lifejackets and liferafts with SMS for a winter service. Once serviced you may either collect your equipment or SMS will return the raft back to you.
We plan to have lunch together in a local pub.
Date and Time: Friday 17th November 2023, meet at SMS premises at 09:50 for a 10:00 start, finishing at 13:00.
(If numbers exceed 25 we will arrange a second visit, on 16th January 2024, so that no one misses out.)
Venue: Suffolk Marine Safety, Unit 108, Claydon Business Park, Great Blakenham, IP6 0NL, take A14 Junction 52, six miles north of Ipswich.
What: Guided site visit to Suffolk Marine Safety, with or without a meal afterwards at 13:30 in the Sorrel Horse Inn at Barham.
