TSM Systems featuring TowPro - Advanced Tow Protection

Maritime Transportation

Overview

TowPro is the new standard in tow protection. A complete protection system for your tender or chase boat whilst being towed. This unique insurer endorsed tow protection system is designed specifically with Yacht captains and crew in mind. The innovative technology moves beyond a simple ‘reactive’ tracking system giving full protection and peace of mind whilst under tow. PREVENTING INCIDENT & LOSS TowPro continuously streams live information from the tender to the yacht keeping the Captain and crew informed and aware. Key safety data gives the captain “a pair of eyes in the tender”: monitoring status continuously, aware of developing issues and causes, able to take right contingency action at the right time to prevent the incident. RECOMMENDED BY LEADING INSURERS Towed tenders cause some of the most frequent losses in superyacht insurance. Tender losses are thought to cost in excess of $25million a year. In addition, there is the inconvenience for the captain and crew. Not to mention the potential disruption to an owner’s trip or guest charter! TOWPRO MAKES TOWING SAFER The concept is the result of a collaboration with captains, insurers, risk assessors, installers and hydrodynamic stability experts. The system is recommended by leading insurers. Current insurance towing restrictions cause a common operational constraint for Captains. Using the TowPro system can improve your insurance terms. You could benefit from: Extended towing hours Extended towing range offshore A reduction in tender deductibles. FULLY SUPPORTED & EASY TO INSTALL Designed with support, security and ease of installation: No antennas No cables to run aft No connection to Wi-Fi, VSAT or on-board networks No satellite usage costs TowPro sends safety information and tender position via a secure VHF link. Enjoy peace of mind under tow, more favourable insurance terms and extended operating conditions. Get in touch today and find out how Tow Pro will work for you.
