Sertec CMCE RINA

The Sertec CMCE devices de-ionise the atmosphere around the vessel using a patented design, first invented in 1918 by Nikola Tesla himself. Back in December 2023, RINA confirmed they were fully understanding and approving of this certified technology. 

Following presentations to parties, such as the IIMS, and exhibitions, such as Seawork and METSTRADE, the desire for RINA approval was clear. We are pleased that Mr Chifarelli, the founder and CEO of Sertec, agreed that this was a worthwhile investment. Since achieving this approval, it has been a key driver in continued business with the OEM and mast-building clients across the UK and Europe.

Sertec is the only intelligent lightning prevention system in the world, coupled with the only RINA-approved lightning prevention system. This bestows huge confidence in the technology hidden within the devices.

Lightning protection is subject to strict standards, and we are proud to have earned the RINA Approval, to add to a long list of other approvals and certifications. This recognition provides the marine industry with the assurance of Sertec’s quality and reliability. RINA is accredited by Accredia according to standards EN 17065 & EN17020 to IEC EN 61508, IEC EN 61511, IEC EN 62061, IEC EN 13849 & IEC EN 16590.
The Sertec CMCE Marine devices are therefore accredited under this certification body.

This landmark certification solidifies Sertec Marine’s position as the market leader in Lightning Protection Systems (LPS) for the maritime sector, with a revolutionary solution rooted in Nikola Tesla’s visionary work from 1918.
The CMCE devices, inspired by Tesla’s pioneering ideas, deliver unparalleled protection against lightning strikes—a critical threat to vessels and offshore platforms. By neutralizing electrical charges in the surrounding environment, CMCE devices drastically reduce the likelihood of lightning strikes, safeguarding both crew and cargo, and enhancing operational reliability.
“The pending Lloyd’s Register approval is a testament to the transformative nature of our CMCE technology,” said Steve Horsley, Sales Director for Sertec SRL “We are proud to offer an unrivalled solution that shields vessels from one of the most unpredictable and dangerous forces in nature: lightning.”
Key Features and Benefits:
•	Advanced Lightning Protection: Prevents lightning strikes by dissipating electrical charges, ensuring safer maritime operations.
•	Operational Reliability: Reduces risks and potential downtime associated with lightning-related incidents.
•	Market-Leading Innovation: Positions Sertec Marine as the foremost authority in marine LPS technology.
With Lloyd’s Register certification, Sertec Marine will set a new benchmark in maritime safety. This endorsement positions CMCE devices as the go-to solution for shipowners, operators, and offshore industries seeking unparalleled protection against lightning strikes.
“Sertec Marine now stands unrivalled in the field of marine lightning protection systems,” added Horsley “We’re excited to deliver this breakthrough technology to the global maritime community just 12 months after achieving RINA certification, driving innovation and safety to new heights. Currently, Sertec are the only company accredited by RINA and new pending Lloyds approval reinforces our position as a credible manufacturer in the protection against lightning strikes.”

hamma Pro Strand Breaking Strains

Hamma Profile Tile2.jpg

hamma® Pro strand has been developed to provide the marine  industry with a quality compacted strand that has a smooth clean finish, aesthetically superior to any product currently on the market, while maintaining the strength and corrosion resistance of traditional stainless steel wire rope. As hamma® is a ‘compacted’ strand there is no need to pre-stress the wire. This process of strand compaction decreases the constructional stretch of the wire which also results higher break loads.

Sertec CMCE Marine

The CMCE Marine device works by absorbing and compensating the charges of the electric field during navigation. These charges are distributed to the ground system, which in turn diverts them to the water, generating a protection shield around the vessel or asset. Solutions are available for everything from small leisure craft up to commercial ships, cranes, and wind turbines amongst others.

Lightning Protection Device for Marine Applications

Storm 7 Monitoring Device

The Storm 7 condition monitor from Sertec continually monitors key atmospheric conditions and the ionic drain of your installed Sertec CMCE device. Storm 7 can trigger alarms if the ground connection were to be disturbed and produce an annual report which may be looked favourably upon by insurance companies. This makes the Sertec system a truly intelligent lightning protection system.
