O’Sullivans Marine has reopened its doors on a phased basis, with some restrictions, following the first moves to reopen the country amid the Covid-19 situation.

The Tralee firm, which supplies essential safety equipment to the marine industry, joined hardware stores across Ireland that welcomed customers on their premises for the first time since movement restrictions against coronavirus were brought in nearly two months ago.

In a statement, the company said: “At O’Sullivan’s Marine, we are fortunate to have large spaces in which our employees and customers can easily practice social distancing.”

It added: “As the safety of our staff and customers is our highest priority, we have put protocols in place during the Covid-19 pandemic.

“These include perspex screens in reception, accessible hand sanitisers and social distancing markers.”

The restricted opening means that customers must order by phone or online for collection from the Tralee premises.

Customers will be welcomed in as far as reception and all are asked to sanitise hands on both entry and exit of the premises, remain behind the perspex screens while interacting with staff, and adhere to social distancing to safeguard themselves, other customers and staff members.

Patience is also requested as, due to the volume of orders, there may be a delay in delivery times. Bookings for servicing and repairs are being taken as usual but must be made in advance, and staff will do their best to accommodate.

Staff working from home can still be reached by phone on 066 712 4524, which will be redirected to mobiles, and also via email — all enquiries should be directed to [email protected]

O’Sullivans Marine added that it thanks all customers for their continued support over the difficult recent weeks.

We would love to hear from you on how we are doing, we value your opinion and your feedback helps us to improve our customer experience.

“From all the team at O’Sullivans Marine — thank you and stay safe!”

Coastal Notes Coastal Notes covers a broad spectrum of stories, events and developments in which some can be quirky and local in nature, while other stories are of national importance and are on-going, but whatever they are about, they need to be told.

Stories can be diverse and they can be influential, albeit some are more subtle than others in nature, while other events can be immediately felt. No more so felt, is firstly to those living along the coastal rim and rural isolated communities. Here the impact poses is increased to those directly linked with the sea, where daily lives are made from earning an income ashore and within coastal waters.

The topics in Coastal Notes can also be about the rare finding of sea-life creatures, a historic shipwreck lost to the passage of time and which has yet many a secret to tell. A trawler's net caught hauling more than fish but cannon balls dating to the Napoleonic era.

Also focusing the attention of Coastal Notes, are the maritime museums which are of national importance to maintaining access and knowledge of historical exhibits for future generations.

Equally to keep an eye on the present day, with activities of existing and planned projects in the pipeline from the wind and wave renewables sector and those of the energy exploration industry.

In addition Coastal Notes has many more angles to cover, be it the weekend boat leisure user taking a sedate cruise off a long straight beach on the coast beach and making a friend with a feathered companion along the way.

In complete contrast is to those who harvest the sea, using small boats based in harbours where infrastructure and safety poses an issue, before they set off to ply their trade at the foot of our highest sea cliffs along the rugged wild western seaboard.

It's all there, as Coastal Notes tells the stories that are arguably as varied to the environment from which they came from and indeed which shape people's interaction with the surrounding environment that is the natural world and our relationship with the sea.
