Increase Your RevPALF with VoltSafe 

Marinas face constant challenges to optimize and grow revenue while maintaining a high standard of safety and convenience for their customers. As waterfront property becomes increasingly valuable, the pressure to maximize revenue per available linear foot (RevPALF) is higher than ever. VoltSafe has created an innovative shore power system that has emerged as a game-changer, offering marinas an opportunity to increase their profitability while improving customer satisfaction. Here’s how…

‍

1. Improve OPEX & CAPEX Savings 

Peak Electricity Demand Monitoring & Savings: Uses machine learning and a hive mind to understand energy use, lowering peak demand charges, reducing overall electricity costs.

Eliminates Potential Driveaway Damage: The magnetic hardware connection breaks away if a forgetful boater leaves without disconnecting, preventing costly damage to the docks and infrastructure.

Reduces manual labour through revenue-grade power metering: Automates accurate power usage tracking, eliminating the need for manual meter readings and reducing administrative workload.

2. Enhanced Customer Experience

Easy magnetic connect/disconnect feature: Boaters will appreciate the effortless connect/ disconnect process. With a magnetic design, VoltSafe’s hardware pedestals eliminate the frustration of connecting and securing prongs as well as potential dock damage in cases where a boater has forgotten to disconnect from shore power.

Real-Time Data & Analytics: Integrated smart technology allows boaters and marina managers to monitor energy consumption, detect current leakage and allow boaters to manage their usage via a boater mobile app and marinas to monitor operations via a dashboard, creating transparency and trust. Marina owners can also use the smart billing system to charge boaters for their usage rather than a flat fee. 

Enhanced Safety: VoltSafe addresses the latest NEC requirements pertaining to article 555.35. With GFCI and GFPE built into the pedestal, the risk of shore power hazards such as  electrical fires, corrosion, electrocution  and electric shock drownings (ESD) is significantly reduced, giving customers peace of mind and making the marina more attractive to safety-conscious boaters. The ability to detect overheating and current leakage and overdraw allows the marina to immediately cut off power to a single pedestal without the issue of nuisance tripping.

3. Revenue Optimization through Smart Billing

Easy Reservation and check-in/check-out system: Say goodbye to manual, tedious tasks that can lead to error and discrepancies. 

Accurate Energy Tracking: VoltSafe Marine’s advanced metering capabilities ensure precise billing for power usage. This eliminates disputes and ensures marinas are compensated fairly for every kilowatt-hour consumed.

Tiered Pricing Models: With detailed usage data, marinas can implement tiered or dynamic pricing structures to maximize revenue during peak times or high-demand seasons.

Recurring Revenue / SaaS: Each marina will be able to offer its boater the use of a companion app, charging a recurring per month fee that can be built into the rental of the slip for live aboards or long term guests.

4. Reduced Maintenance Costs

Durability: VoltSafe Marine’s exposed contacts design reduces corrosion which drastically reduces wear and tear compared to traditional systems.

Lower Repair Expenses: The elimination of mechanical components like prongs and sockets minimizes maintenance frequency and costs.

By lowering operational expenses, marinas can allocate more resources toward enhancing amenities or marketing efforts, indirectly boosting revenue.

5. Appeal to High-Value Customers

Offering a premium shore power system like VoltSafe Marine, positions marinas as premium destinations. High-value customers, such as owners of luxury yachts and larger vessels, are more likely to choose marinas equipped with advanced technologies, ensuring higher occupancy of premium-priced berths. The ability to add monitoring for their vessels across several marinas through the proprietary VoltSafe Marine app is an added advantage. A positive customer experience at a marina translates into higher occupancy rates, repeat visits, and the ability to command premium pricing.

Investing in the VoltSafe shore power pedestals and marina management system not only increases revenue per available linear foot but also gives marinas a distinct competitive edge in an increasingly crowded market. Boaters are more likely to choose marinas that prioritize safety, convenience, and innovation. Furthermore, marinas that adopt VoltSafe’s award-winning solution can differentiate themselves as eco-friendly and technologically advanced destinations, appealing to a growing demographic of environmentally conscious boaters. The shore power system also meets NEC safety requirements, making it the most cost effective shore power upgrade. 

The initial investment in VoltSafe’s advanced shore power and marina management system quickly pays for itself through increased occupancy, higher pricing potential, and reduced maintenance costs. Additionally, the improved safety profile can lower insurance premiums, adding to the financial benefits.

With a competitive marina landscape and the need to upgrade marina operations to meet safety requirements, maximizing revenue per available linear foot is important. VoltSafe offers a transformative solution that enhances customer experience, optimizes billing, reduces maintenance costs, and attracts high-value clientele. By investing in VoltSafe, marinas can achieve sustainable growth in the highly competitive industry.
