Valon majakat Ukrainan rannikolla

Without so-called aids to navigation (ATON), commercial and other vessels cannot navigate. Cargo doesn’t move, exports stop, and economies suffer. This was likely one of Russia’s objectives when various ATON systems were systematically destroyed along the Black Sea coast.

Sabik Marine, based in Porvoo, offers world-class ATON solutions to coast guards, maritime authorities, naval forces, and ports around the world. Their buoy lights and lighthouse beacons not only keep maritime traffic running silently but are also designed to operate autonomously in extreme environments year-round.

Sabik Marine responded to the State Hydrographic Service of Ukraine’s (SHSU) request to quickly replace destroyed systems. Over one hundred different types of ATON products were donated according to SHSU’s precise specifications. Zero Line Finland’s team personally delivered the ATON products donated by Sabik Marine to several SHSU locations on-site.
