Port of Aden Pilot of Savehaven Marine, Ireland
Savehaven Marine from Ireland are professional pilot boat and commercial workboat manufacturers. We supply vents to them since 2005.
Port of Aden Pilot has 4 Air-Only Dorade vents installed.
How does it work?
Air-Only ventilator, which is a core device for all models, let air in and keep water out via the use of spherical floats.
Operating principle: soft PVC balls float within the vent as soon as there is water on deck, along vertical guides, and form a watertight seal. As soon as the water subsides, the balls descend, letting air in again. Illustrated on pictures below.
