June 17, 2010... Carmanah Technologies Corp. through its marine partnership with Sabik Oy is providing Carmanah/Sabik solar LED marine lanterns for marking oil spill containment booms in the Gulf of Mexico. The lanterns help to keep marine traffic safe while containment and cleanup work continues in the area. Carmanah's authorized marine distributor in Texas helped deploy several hundred white and yellow Carmanah/Sabik Model 502 and M650 solar LED marine lanterns to mark areas such as open bays and waterways where the presence of containment booms poses a risk to vessels attempting to navigate the area.

Carmanah reports that it is also working with a Houston-based manufacturing partner to quickly produce and deliver several hundred additional lights in the coming days.
