When boating is about “endurance”
For nearly half a century, Douglas Marine has offered top solutions for mooring and anchoring
Founded in 1976, Douglas Marine has always stood out for being a promoter of the introduction of the use of stainless steel in the nautical field: in fact, it was the first company to make compression mooring dampers, thus going on to revolutionize the entire industry.
In a market environment dense with competitors, the historic company born in Milan, and which has always operated in the hinterland of the Lombard capital, therefore wanted to patent all the numerous projects introduced in the sector, both in the field of mooring and anchoring, securing its leadership in innovation and solution.
In order to be able to offer an increasingly quality service, Douglas Marine then takes care of the entire production process of all its items, from raw material to finished product, thanks in part to the availability of a wide range of machinery, much of it of its own invention. All this, combined with multiple tests, proves the quality of the company’s made-in-Italy products, as well as allowing great versatility in following and meeting the specific needs of the shipbuilding industry.
Today Douglas Marine is the world’s leading manufacturer of mooring devices, with a range of shock absorbers for boats from 1 to 900 tons, as well as being one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of stainless steel anchor couplings and cooper profiles. Products reach more than 95 nations, and customer service is ready to assist customers anywhere on the globe.
PRODUCTS OF GREAT VERSATILITY FOR TODAY’S BOATER
EASY HANDLE
Universal rising handle for prompt boarding from the aft swim platform, made entirely of A/SI 316. Easy to install, it has been revamped with an attractive new design, removing any sharp edges for added safety in case of a trip. It makes boarding comfortable and smooth without creating clutter on the swim platform.
EVO REEL WINDER
The high-strength tape made with the same technology as car seat belts has a certified breaking strength of 2,600 kg and can be used as a stern anchor line, a mooring or towing line, a life line and generally as an emergency stern line. In its made-in-Italy design, it is extremely durable and made of A/SI 316 stainless steel. The tape allows 60 meters of line to be available at all times with very small footprint and weight. The wheel’s large air intakes have both a lightening function and the function of allowing it to dry more quickly.
MASTER MOORING
The best shock absorbers on the market: the high-strength line is ideal for boats up to 40 meters and is the result of years of research, testing and experience. These devices provide progressive cushioning action, have an internal end stop, and do not require a restraining chain. They have minimal footprints and weights, reduced by up to a quarter compared to equivalent marine shock absorbers on the market, thanks to the use of components such as HR stainless steel, special elastomers with unchanged properties from -40°C to + 120°C, and resistance tested to more than 400,000 cycles at maximum compression.
