Seaflex Waterbag Rental Facility Opens in Rotterdam

Press release - Unique Group’s Buoyancy & Ballast division has announced the opening of its new rental operation in Rotterdam. The facility is specifically for the division’s Seaflex brand, the U.K.-based waterbag specialist.

Stocked with new WaterLoad  bags in denominations up to 35t as well as 16-bag / 6,000kg lifeboat testing sets, the facility is staffed by Seaflex-trained and authorized service technicians.

Under the commercial management of Seaflex’s Dutch partner, Robin Jansen of P.C. Jansen Trading B.V., the facility's purpose is to serve ever-increasing requests to Seaflex for the rental of LEEA-compliant load test bags, in and around Rotterdam, and down into the Belgian ports.

Upon the opening of this operation, Robin Jansen commented, “As well as being able to offer the newest rental stock of waterbags to customers, all the WaterLoad bags at this facility have been type-tested to prove the 6:1 factor of safety on their WLL in line with LEEA 051 guidelines. Additionally, they come with the weight of Product Design Assessment Certification from ABS – something that isn’t carried by any other waterbags in the market.”
