The announcement of the winners will take place during the METS Breakfast Briefing in the RAI center in Amsterdam on Tuesday the 15th of November.
SCM has been nominated in the Interior Equipment for its REVOLVING PORTLIGHT WITH PHASES MOTION. The company, known for its high quality Stainless Steel marine equipments, re-invented the concept of round portlight creating the “revolving” portlight that features a unique and innovative rotation movement of the window. The window rotates by maximum 110° in respect to the portlight base. Rotation can be towards right or left direction depending of the installation on board the boat. SCM revolving portlight enables to define the rotation direction of the window using only one part number. This feature is integrated within the rotation pivot. Rotation pivot has a double detent feature, one to stop the window in the open position at 110°, the other to align the window to the base during closure. SCM revolving portlight is available in four different diameter dimensions: 150, 200, 250 ad 300mm. Portlight features are the same as SCM normal series but the latching system is exclusively with wing nuts. The unique and innovative rotation movement of the window gives the opportunity to reduce the internal protrusion and enable the use of curtains contemporary to the opening of the window. It also reduce the chance of injuries on board. SCM revolving portlight is suitable for installation on board boats complying with CE standards (up to 24 m), in area I, III and IV engine-driven and sail unit Cat. A B C D.
Piero Galbani, President of SCM and designer of the nominated product says: “Being a boat owner I always thought it was a shame to keep the window open but the curtains up and vice versa, so the idea of the revolving portlight was generated by a personal need first, then with SCM engineering team we optimized the idea and turn it into an innovative product that is very appreciated by boat builders and boat designers”
Gianluca Silvestri, Business Development Manager of SCM stats: “ We are very proud of this nomination, it is the first time ever that SCM participate to the competition after many years of METS, we believe it is already a success to be showed at the DAME award presentation in the Elicium. This is a great opportunity to increase company visibility and be promoted on the major marine magazines, we will do our best to take advantage of this and leverage the rest of our product range “
