SMS Group take on Tohmei’s anti roll system

The SMS Group is now representing Tohmei Industries in the UK for its Anti Rolling Gyro (ARG) system. SMS says Tohmei’s system is ‘widely regarded as one of the best solutions in the world for the minimisation of roll both at anchor and at slow speed’.

“The product is fantastic and the results speak for themselves, the customers love it,” says Nicholas Warren, commercial director. “Easy installation, easy operation – and a keen price. From our Southampton base we’ll be acting as both the UK distributor and retro-fit installer.

“One of our senior engineers, has been trained specifically by Tohmei and we believe the retro-fit opportunity, not only locally, but also nationally, will be sizable.

“Given our core customer base we believe we’re well connected and well networked to be able to sell directly to both yacht owners in the leisure market, and also the key UK marine manufacturers. The product is also very well suited to many of our commercial customers too.

“The Tohmei ARG stabiliser is the original anti rolling gyro stabiliser. The technology was developed originally by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries for space satellites and then adapted for the marine market.

“With approx. 2,500 units built, there are Tohmei ARGs working off every continent world-wide.”
