CAR 35 Replacement Program

According to the IMO/SOLAS rules and regulations (MSC 1206) release hook mechanisms require annual services by the manufacturer or an authorized service station.
In compliance with these regulations and for our customer’s convenience, Ned-Deck Marine (NDM) has implemented the unique ‘CAR 35 Replacement Program’:

The CAR 35 combined automatic release hook, used onboard your vessel, will require annual service by the manufacturer (NDM).
To save time and labour of a service engineer visit, NDM can and will send you a reconditioned, updated and newly certified CAR 35 hook by courier to your vessel or an agent/port of your choice.
Upon arrival you can swap your ‘old’ hook with the newly certified CAR 35 hook sent by NDM.
At this point you have installed a newly certified hook and are in compliance with Class regulations.
You are only required to return the currently used (old) hook to the NDM office in The Netherlands.

This will save you lot’s of time and money!

Prices for the newly certified and reconditioned CAR 35 hooks are on average € 385,= depending on the condition of the release hook sent back to NDM, excluding freight cost.
In addition NDM requires a deposit of a new hook, for each CAR 35 hook to be sent out.
When NDM receives your ‘old’ hook, the full outstanding deposit amount will be credited.
