26 PHOTOLUMINESCENCE FOR MARITIME SAFETY After several years of deployment to secure greenways and bicycle paths throughout France, LuminoKrom® photoluminescent paint is now also distributed by Seaview Progress to meet the needs of commercial vessels and pleasure or race boats. A totally new concept in the maritime world! Facilitating rescue operations at sea With the development of nautical activities, sea rescue is a major challenge that requires constant innovation. Throughout the year, SNSM rescuers provide assistance to boats in distress at sea. With its luminescence visible from up to 80 meters away, LuminoKrom® is an innovative solution that helps them in their work and facilitates rescue operations at sea. It enables helicopters to spot boats in the open sea at night. This is of great help to the rescuers, especially in bad weather conditions such as rough sea, fog and rain. Distributed by We Explore, Roland Jourdain’s flax fiber catamaran, at the start of the Route du Rhum 2022. LuminoKrom® paint was applied to the six aft-section steps and the tops of the two folding daggerboards to visualize the settings.
