Vikoma launches paravane for deploying booms

Agathos portfolio company Vikoma has launched a new paravane product. This is a versatile paravane tool with a unique vane profile to maximise efficiency, and in a traditional open water boom deployment means it can replace the tow boat, enabling a single vessel to deploy a boom system.

Vikoma’s paravane has a unique feature as it is a modular system allowing easy conversion between it’s Midi and Maxi versions (medium and large). This flexibility is a useful feature for buyers by keeping the investment cost down, with one piece of equipment being easily convertible to suit the size of boom being used, rather than buying two separate sizes of paravane.

As well as saving money, this is an environmentally friendly solution keeping the carbon footprint down as less materials are used.
