The Netherlands’ Rijkswaterstaat has again chosen Tideland’s SeaBeacon 2 System 6 dual-band racon for installation on buoys as an aid to navigation and to mark special locations in the Dutch sector of the North Sea.
The latest order for four racons was supplied via Tideland’s representative in the Netherlands, P.C.Jansen Marine Agencies B.V. to Rijkswaterstaat’s Directie Noordzee in Rijswijk. Rijkswaterstaat currently operates 20 racon buoys in the North Sea, many of which are fitted either with Tideland System 6 racons or the earlier System 5 version.
