In the competitive world of superyacht chartering, every detail contributes to creating a vessel that exudes both luxury and functionality. One such feature that blends tradition with modern utility is the ship’s bell. Lumenautica, known for its bespoke yacht branding solutions, offers personalised ship’s bells that marry superior craftsmanship with regulatory maritime compliance.
Superior Craftsmanship with Lumenautica
Unlike brass or bronze bells, Lumenautica’s ship’s bells the come in either 10″ (25cm) or 12″ (30cm) are made from 100% solid duplex stainless steel alloy 2205 to endure the harsh maritime environment. This durable material eliminates the worry of tarnishing or coating wear, providing longevity and maintaining the bell’s pristine appearance. Each bell is handmade using the lost wax method to showcase fine detailing, ensuring that every piece is as unique as the yacht.
Jon Freeman, CEO of Lumenautica stated: “We’re known throughout Europe and the USA as the go-to source for all branded marine items, including ship’s bells. Our commitment to quality and craftsmanship makes us confident that our customised ship’s bells are the finest in the world.”
The Benefits of a Personalised Ship’s Bell
Historically, ship’s bells served as essential timekeeping tools. Today, they fulfill various legal, signaling, and ceremonial roles:
- Legal Compliance: Vessels over 20 meters are required by IMO guidelines to have a ship’s bell on board.
- Signaling Presence: Bells are used to signal the arrival of guests, adding an element of tradition and grandeur.
- Ceremonial Functions: Ship’s bells mark special occasions, making celebrations like birthdays aboard even more memorable.
