Product Spotlight – Pilot® Compression Lidpack
Amazing fact – most ships afloat on the world’s oceans right now are carrying a Beldam Crossley product catalogue.
Why?
The answer begins with the very origins of the company. In 1876 a ship’s engineer called Asplan Beldam discovered a solution to an impossible problem. This solution allowed him to design specific products to improve efficiency in steam-drive vessels.
Fast forward 128 years and Beldam Crossley’s marine products are renowned for their innovation and high quality. As a result, we’re recognised as industry leaders by the majority of marine engineers and purchasers – and that’s why we’ve worked with Ship Chandlers worldwide to ensure our product catalogues are a handy go-to on board almost every vessel.
Approved by Lloyds DNV and the US Coast Guard, our Pilot Compression Lidpacks are used to seal hatches on bulk carriers. Wherever chemical and solvent cargoes are carried, they are unique.
The construction and properties of our Lidpacks prevent any leakages from escaping – protecting the ship, its crew and cargo and our precious ocean ecosystems.
We may have diversified into many different industries since Asplan Beldam but we’ve never left the high seas completely. So here’s to his ingenuity in 1876 which led to our Pilot Compression Lidpacks today.
