We are all familiar with Airbnb and many of us have used the site for weekend stays and holidays, however water based sharing Apps are on the rise as customers search for more unique ways in which to spend their staycation.

Airbnb launched over a decade ago and is projected to reach over 4 billion in revenue this year! Many boat owners are capitalising on this new trend and marinas are allowing you to rent your boat whilst moored.

However, no matter what kind of boat you own and whether or not you choose to rent it, at some point you will need to plug into shore power. Access to electricity is an integral marina service both for charging batteries, hosting or regular maintenance. You will need electricity to both run the boat and provide onboard services such as lights, and the fridge.

Electricity is fundamental and is often provided at marinas and moorings using power bollards. Electrical hazards in the marina need to be avoided and electrical connections are of course vulnerable to the water, posing a threat to vessels and lives.

Shore power provides a reliable source of electricity for docked vessels. Generators are disruptive, by using electricity instead it reduces greenhouse gas emissions and of course noise pollution, enhancing the enjoyment of the marinas itself. Cleaner air and water in and around marinas is now paramount.
