Reliable Marine Connectivity Solutions | Waterproof Connectors | OMDS
At Lumberg Netherlands, we take pride in being a participant in OMDS (One Maritime Data Standard). While the maritime sector is not our primary focus, we offer products and solutions that perfectly meet the stringent requirements of this industry. Our participation in OMDS is an important step in contributing to efficiency, reliability, and sustainability in the maritime supply chain.
What is OMDS?
OMDS is the industry-standard for uniform recording and electronic exchange of product and trade data in the maritime sector, significantly improving efficiency and data accuracy. The goal is to reduce failure costs and streamline processes through high-quality data exchange via the 2BA platform. This central hub allows suppliers, shipyards, and maintenance companies to quickly and easily access reliable information, resulting in more efficient processes and cost savings.
Our Role in OMDS
As an importer, we provide connectivity solutions that support the objectives of OMDS. Our products, including solutions from our partner Bulgin, meet the highest standards for reliability, waterproofing, and durability. These properties make them particularly suitable for demanding maritime applications, even under extreme conditions such as saltwater exposure and high pressure.
Examples of Maritime Applications
Aqua Control Fountain: 900 Series Buccaneer
A prime example of our product versatility is the Aqua Control case, where Bulgin’s 900 Series Buccaneer is utilized. These high-performance connectors offer:
- Corrosion resistance, essential for applications in saltwater environment.
- Waterproofing, with protection up to IP68 and IP69K.
- Durability, designed to perform in challenging outdoor environments.
The choice of these connectors was crucial as they are used in a variety of environments, including freshwater, small ponds, large saltwater bays, ocean-grade seawater, and even chemical applications. The 900 Series Buccaneer is designed to ensure reliability in such diverse conditions, thanks to its robust properties.
With a capacity of up to 32A and voltage ratings of up to 600V AC/DC, this series is the most powerful circular connector in the Buccaneer range. The secure screw-thread locking mechanism ensures robust high-voltage connections, even in harsh conditions.
Approved by UL, CSA & VDE, this series is not only suitable for waterworks but also for construction sites, outdoor lighting, industrial machinery, pumps, and motors. This makes the 900 Series Buccaneer a versatile and durable solution for fountains worldwide, where reliability and long-term performance are essential. Check out the datasheet for more information.

ROVs and AUVs: 400 Series Buccaneer
Several robotics teams, such as Jesuit Robotics and AGH Marines, have chosen Bulgin’s 400 Series Buccaneer for the development of their ROVs (Remote Operated Vehicles) and AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles). These connectors provide:
- Superior waterproofing, with protection up to IP69K, ideal for deep-sea operations.
- Reliability under extreme conditions, such as vibrations and temperature fluctuations.
- Ease of installation, making them perfect for advanced technological applications.
The 400 Series Buccaneer is one of the most compact connectors in the Buccaneer range, designed for applications where a small footprint and space efficiency are essential. These miniature power connectors integrate key features from the larger Buccaneer family into a compact form factor, giving engineers greater flexibility in their designs.
With a lightweight and rugged construction, these sealed circular plastic connectors provide highly reliable power and signal connections. They are ideal for use in medical, industrial, infrastructure, and automotive applications where space is limited.
