Description
The LineShooter is a Pneumatic Line Shooter and essential life-saving appliance designed to establish a physical connection between two points over water or difficult terrain. Unlike traditional pyrotechnic line shooters that rely on solid fuel rockets, the PLS utilizes compressed air as its propellant. T-ISS developed this in close cooperation with YB specialist in order to get an advanced state of the art heavy duty apparatus
T-ISS LineShooter PLS 300 offers significant benefits. It is fully reusable; after a launch, the projectile can be recovered, the line repacked, and the cylinder refilled using a standard shipboard diving compressor. This allows crews to conduct frequent training exercises at virtually no cost, ensuring they are proficient when an actual emergency occurs. Furthermore, without explosive components, the device has no “shelf life” or hazardous waste disposal requirements, making it both cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
Key Applications in the Maritime Industry
The primary application of a PLS is to meet SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) requirements for distress signaling and rescue operations. However, its versatility allows for several other critical uses:
• Ship-to-Ship Transfer: Establishing the first connection for fuel hoses, personnel transfers, or towing lines between two vessels at sea.
• Ship-to-Shore Mooring: Projecting a pilot line to a dock or pier during difficult docking maneuvers, especially in heavy weather or strong currents.
• Man Overboard (MOB) Situations: Rapidly deploying a floating line or a lifebuoy to a person in the water from a safe distance.
• Hazardous Environments: Because there is no fire or explosion risk, a LineShooter is the only safe choice for oil tankers, chemical carriers, and gas terminals where pyrotechnics are prohibited.
