The New SMART Control Metering System from Maricer

The options open to marina operators traditionally have been to meter your berths using either credit meters or card meters but both have labour problems associated with them and the possibility of human error.

Maricer and SMART Meter-MACS

SMART Meter-MACS

Marina Operators are increasingly realising the importance of ensuring that each visitor to their marina pays for the utilities they consume.

It is no longer acceptable for you, or the environment, to have your customers wasting energy or not being responsible for the energy they consume when utility prices are becoming ever more expensive for businesses and households alike.

At Maricer we realise this and have been working in conjunction with Meter-MACS to provide you with the ultimate monitoring and control solution for this problem.

All of our connection units are manufactured ‘in house’ to exacting standards in a range of finishes including 316 grade stainless steel, acrylic capped ABS and fibreglass.

Electrical supply ranges from 16A 230V to 250A 400V with all switchgear being either accessible through locking reset flaps or via a lockable door.

A range of pontoon lights were also manufactured and installed again to closely resemble the style of the service pedestals. All pedestal diffusers included Light Emitting Diode illumination along with specialist access bridge lights with LED’s.

Retrofit and Refit your Marina

With the constant desire to improve the look of your marina combined with striving to meet the needs of your customers, marina managers are often looking to offer the best standard of service with the most up to date technology. This can become a financial strain particularly during the current economic climate. One solution to this is retro-fitting which can come in a number of different ways - either by installing new pedestals but utilising the existing cable infrastructure or by adding additional technology such as metering systems or new lighting designs into existing pedestals.

By retro fitting new pedestals onto a marina a fresh appearance can be created and perhaps a new colour scheme for pedestal shells can be introduced. A stylish designed pedestal with reliable services will offer more value to berths. You may wish to add water supplies in certain areas or increase the power supply you offer to a particular number of berths to deal with the rising demand within your marina. If this is the case the power and cable infrastructure would require surveying to ensure the size of the current power supply to the marina, and each pedestal, is adequate.
