Marine environments present unique challenges when it comes to lightning protection. Boats, ships, and offshore platforms are especially vulnerable to lightning strikes due to their high profile, often being the tallest structures in their vicinity, and their exposure to the open skies. Lightning strikes can cause significant damage to vessels, not only to the physical structure but also to onboard electronics, communication systems, and electrical components. The risk is particularly high in areas with frequent thunderstorms, such as tropical regions or areas with regular maritime traffic. Given the high replacement costs of essential marine equipment, the threat to the safety of the crew, and the potential for hazardous fires, the importance of a reliable lightning protection system (LPS) for marine vessels cannot be overstated. marine lightning protection
