A River Tyne Commission Provides A Streamlined Workflow of Solar Screens with A Four – Day Turnaround
The River Tyne Commission
A prominent vessel docked at – Northumbrian Quay, Port of Tyne, North Shields recently, and the crew, were in search of high-performance solar screens for the wheelhouse. Solarglide Solar Screens, are still the first choice for any wheelhouse project that will significantly reduce glare and heat within the bridge area of a ship. Whatever the onboard space, maintaining 360-degree visibility is crucial when manoeuvring larger vessels in and out of port. Excessive glare can obstruct the crew’s view, posing operational challenges and potential safety risks. Excessive summer heat can also be detrimental to the navigational crew’s health, if there is no protective barriers in place.
