LONDON, May 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Through its subsidiary, Hesco Bastion Limited (Hesco), legal action has been commenced in the High Court in London against Dirickx Systems Limited (Dirickx) and a number of ex-employees of Hesco.  The claim involves allegations of misuse of confidential information, breach of employee’s duties of good faith, infringement of patent and copyright as well as misrepresentations to customers. 

The allegations of wrongdoing include the removal by the ex-employees, either alone or together, of commercially sensitive information, confidential to Hesco.
Hesco is seeking orders from High Court for appropriate injunctions to restrain further infringing activity, an enquiry into damages or alternatively an account of Dirickx’s profits as well as payment of its legal costs.  A High Court trial in London is expected within 12-18 months.
Dino Koutrouki, CEO, said “Whilst Praesidiad as a business welcomes legitimate competition, it is not prepared to allow the actions of former employees, placed in a position of trust and duty of good faith, to unlawfully take advantage of the foundations of our business in order compete with us.  
Hesco has a proud history as a leading innovator. For over 30 years customers have depended on us for original, high quality life safety products conceived, created and developed by us and tested independently to the highest standards. We have a duty to defend our innovation and our brand through this High Court action. Hesco intends to pursue its claims to the fullest degree, and we confidently expect the litigation process will reveal the full extent of wrongdoing of which the above is only a snapshot.”

SeaBubbles Accelerates Sustainable Maritime Mobility with SmartBubble and Strategic Acquisition

Published

SAINT JORIOZ, France, Sept. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — SeaBubbles, French pioneer in zero-emission hydrofoils, strengthens its commitment to ecological transition with the launch of SmartBubble, new flying boat model combining cutting-edge technology with iconic design. This innovative vessel, designed to carry up to eight people at a speed of 16 knots (30 km/h), takes its passengers on a silent and environmentally friendly flight, ideal for water taxi services and urban transportation.

SmartBubble: Concentration of Technology and Design
Following the success of its first public line on Lake Annecy, where hundreds of passengers experienced the unique sensation of flying aboard The Bubble (4-seater model), SeaBubbles reaches a new milestone with the homologation of the SmartBubble (8-seater model) and its four patents, including retractable foils.
SmartBubble technology is geared towards energy efficiency. The submerged wings (foils) equipped with automatic flaps allow to fly at low speeds, saving 40% of energy required. This unique boat has just been presented afloat for the first time at the Cannes Yachting Festival.
SeaBubbles Strengthens Flight Control Expertise with Neocean Acquisition
SeaBubbles also announces the acquisition of Neocean technology, to accelerate the development of flight control expertise, specifically on “inverted T” foils. Neocean is renowned for developing the Overboat, foiling catamaran with proven stability and maneuverability.
SeaBubbles is a key player in hydrofoil navigation, technology that improves energy efficiency of boats, particularly electric ones. The flight control system is a central element of the flight experience: it is designed to ensure stable flight by dynamically and autonomously managing the mechanical inclination of the flaps on the trailing edges of the foils.
SeaBubbles: Vision for the Future
SeaBubbles’ ambition is to revolutionize urban and suburban maritime transport with more efficient and environmentally friendly boats. Examples such as the Calanques National Park, Norwegian fjords, alpine lakes or the canals of Amsterdam demonstrate a committed initiative towards the preservation of aquatic ecosystems by gradually banning the circulation of thermal boats.
“Foils significantly reduce the drag of our boats, allowing our hydrofoils to move more easily and with less energy than a conventional boat: a considerable gain in cost and energy,” explains Virginie Seurat, CEO of SeaBubbles. “The acquisition of Neocean marks a decisive turning point and prepares us for our industrialization phase. We are ready to redefine the pleasure of boating and offer boats that comply with increasingly stringent environmental standards, while offering unique sailing comfort – zero noise, zero waves, zero emissions.”
