FORT
MYERS, Fla., June 9, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Golden Marine Systems, a prominent provider
of marine infrastructure solutions, offers crucial guidance to
prepare marinas for hurricane season. Drawing from extensive
experience in the marine industry, the company emphasizes proactive
measures to mitigate potential damage and ensure safety. Hurricanes
pose significant threats to coastal communities, making marinas
especially vulnerable. To assist marina operators and boat owners,
Golden Marine Systems advises:
- Develop a Comprehensive Emergency Plan: Create a detailed plan
outlining procedures for securing the marina, evacuating vessels,
and ensuring personnel safety. Regularly review and update the plan
based on past experiences.
- Secure Infrastructure: Inspect docks, piers, and other
structures for wear or damage. Reinforce weak points and secure
loose items to prevent them from becoming projectiles in high
winds.
- Secure Vessels: Ensure all vessels are properly secured with
adequate lines and fenders. Consider relocating boats to safer
locations or hauling them out of the water.
- Remove Potential Hazards: Clear debris, including equipment,
trash, and vegetation, to prevent hazards during storms.
- Communicate Effectively: Maintain open communication with
marina tenants, local authorities, and emergency agencies. Keep
stakeholders informed and provide guidance on evacuation
procedures.
- Monitor Weather Conditions: Stay informed about approaching
storms by monitoring forecasts from the National Hurricane Center
and local authorities. Take proactive measures based on the latest
information.
- Prepare for Power Outages: Develop contingency plans for power
outages, including backup generators and emergency lighting. Ensure
essential equipment remains operational during power loss.
- Stay Informed and Flexible: Remain vigilant throughout
hurricane season and adjust plans based on evolving weather
conditions and guidance from authorities.
"One of the main things that happen in a
storm situation that causes dock systems to fail is the piles not
being high enough. When you get the storm surge, the dock systems
simply float above the pile system and float off," Michael Shanley, President of Golden Marine
Systems, states.
Michael Shanley, President of
Golden Marine Systems, stresses the importance of proper
preparation for minimizing hurricane impacts on marinas and
ensuring safety. The company remains dedicated to supporting
marinas and coastal communities in preparing for and mitigating
hurricane impacts.
During Hurricane Ian's devastation in Southwest Florida, Golden Marine Systems'
over-engineered products, like docks, gangways, boat lifts and
marine accessories withstood the destruction. The company
single-handedly rebuilt marinas, restoring Fort Myers Beach to its natural beauty.
