Hidden Failures in Lifeboat Systems Put Offshore Safety at Risk

IKT USA reveals how JOWO 8819 connectors reduce corrosion, arcing, and maintenance downtime

Houston, TX – Sept. 3 2025 – IKT USA is calling attention to the overlooked risks in lifeboat electrical systems, where outdated connectors often fail due to corrosion, arcing, and vibration damage.

The JOWO 8819 series offers a solution: ATEX-ready configurations, marine-grade materials, and serviceable bulkhead receptacles designed for offshore reliability.

“Standard marine connectors weren’t built for today’s offshore demands,” said Oscar Voigt. “The 8819 addresses these issues directly, extending service life and reducing costly downtime.”
