Recaro – ‘probably the best known seat manufacturers in the world’
RECARO Sun Marine Seats (www.sunmarineseats.nl) launched its newly designed and tested range of Passenger Seats at Seawork 2012. Three different types of seat were successfully crash tested.
They were tested to the IMO HSC Code, in both forward and rear-facing directions, mounted onto specially-designed modules.The RECARO Maritime Northsea, already a favourite with helmsmen onboard High Speed Craft around the world, is now available as a passenger seat. Fitted with a four-point belt, this seat will receive Certification to HSC Annex 10.
With a 2–point aircraft type belt, the RECARO Atlantic provides legendary RECARO comfort for long journeys at an affordable price. The RECARO Caspian, already one of the most advanced helmsman seats available on the market today, completes the trio. With full electrical adjustments, both crew and passengers can now experience First Class aircraft-type seating comfort. Entertainment modules and a host of other refinements can be built into the seats.
Sepers in Holland was the first yard to order 25 seats for a Crew Transfer Vessel and RECARO Maritime dealers are reporting strong interest from turbine transfer operators. Victor Willems, General Manager of Sun Marine Seats said: “With increasingly long transfer times of up to three hours each way, operators are placing more focus on quality, durability, correct ergonomics and comfort – all qualities that already make RECARO probably the best known seat manufacturers in the world today.”
