In April 2021, President Joe Biden promised significant support for green energy in the United States. Offshore wind farms, a more developed market in Europe, but hardly established in the U.S., will be a growth stimulating opportunity in all those industries that create the infrastructure and installations and the myriad vessels that serve them. One exciting proposal will be a huge new project off the coast of New Jersey.

Zenitel is adding a new range of amplifiers for music and entertainment to add even more flexibility and quality integration to their portfolio for marine applications, that will now bring additional quality and cost-savings to ship builders and ship owners.

Sound reception systems are electronic acoustical navigational aids that enable the ship’s crew to hear audio signals generated from outside an enclosed bridge. The sound reception system is installed as an aid for look-out as required by the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREG), 1972 standards. Sound reception systems can also be installed on vessels lacking fully enclosed bridges.
