Magnetic Miko Plasters
The patented Magnetic Miko Plaster is a magnetic tarpaulin qualified by DNV-GL for sealing off sea chests, water inlets and outlets under the water line while the ship is afloat.
The seal is achieved by the water pressure coupled with the magnetic adhesion between the patch and the steel surface. The magnetic tarpaulins are designed for long term storage and are not demagnetized after use.
The outer layer is a polyester-reinforced PVC matting, strong enough to lift an average car with a 50 mm wide stripe. The inner layer is a nitrile rubber sheeting that provides the magnetic holding force as well as strong frictional force and sealing effect against the steel surface. The larger sizes of Miko Plaster are equipped with a buoyancy sheet to facilitate easy handling under water.
The magnetic tarpaulins are produced in Norway and standard sizes can delivered quickly to site in in urgent situations. Miko Magnetic Plaster can be customized to any shape and size based on customer requirements.
Standard sizes in cm: 45 x 45, 45 x 83, 90 x 126, 220 x 260 and 450 x 500
Tanker Kit
The Tanker Kit is well proven as a cost-saving alternative to dry-docking. It is used world-wide for in-water repair or survey of floating structures.
Miko Plaster the main component of the Tanker Kit – is a magnetic tarpaulin that provides a temporary, but reliable, watertight seal below the waterline. It is qualified by DNV GL for b
The seal is achieved by the water pressure and the magnetic adhesion between the patch and the steel surface. No hot-work or hydraulic tools are required for the installation. Supplementary tools required for installation are included in the kit.
Kit includes
Miko Plasters in cm: 90 x 125 (2) and 225 x 250 (2)
Anchor Magnets: MAM-001 (4) and MPM-002 (10)
FlexiShape Miko Plasters
FlexiShape Miko Plasters is intended for repair of hull damages below the waterline from groundings or collisions. It is stapled to the hull using either the Underwater Fastener or the Miko Fix.
The temporary and quick repair is carried out while the ship is afloat; t
The outer layer is a polyester-reinforced PVC matting, strong enough to carry the weight of an average car with a 50 mm wide stripe. The inner layer is a Kevlar fabric, similar to bullet proof vests, which protects the patch from sharp edges on the damaged hull.
The material is flexible to follow the hull curvatures. The rubber stripes along the edges help improve the seal when pressed against the hull surface by the fasteners.
The patches are produced in Norway and standard sizes can delivered quickly to site in urgent situations. Standard sizes are available in the Salvage Kit together with supplementary tools for installation. Customized patches are supplied in any shape and size.
Standard sizes in cm: 45 x 45, 45 x 83, 90 x 126, 220 x 260 and 450 x 500
Emergency Response Bag
The Emergency Response Bag enables quick repairs to leaks caused by cracks or for blanking off small openings while the ship is afloat.
Miko Plaster the main component of the Emergency Response Bag- is a magnetic tarpaulin that is applied by hand directly over the opening. The seal is achieved by the water pressure coupled with the magnetic adhesion between the patch and the steel surface.
Because of the compact size and minimal weight, the kit can be hand-carried and the patches quickly applied by a single diver.
The components of the Emergency Response Bag have been selected for maximum versatility and usability within strict weight limits.
Kit includes
Miko Plasters in cm: 45 x 50 (1), 45 x 83 (1) and 90 x 125 (1).
Anchor Magnets: MAM-001 (1) and MPM-002 (10).
Miko Salvage Bag
Miko Salvage Bag is a complete damage control kit developed to counter water ingress from damaged hull, deck, bulkheads,openings and pipelines.
The kit consists of heavy duty polyester coated para-aramide inflatable bags in various sizes for different situations; the kit is tested in several Damage Repair Instructional Units and on board vessels with approving results.
The contents in the Miko Salvage Bag and their usability is the result of dialogue with expert user groups from several nations throughout the development process. The seal is achieved by the ability of the bags to form in relation to the damaged structure during pressurization.
The Miko Salvage Bag® is a ready-to-go kit for damage control parties. The Miko Salvage Bag is a 100% Miko Marine product.
