Halyard Marine has won the Spirit of Inovation Award at the Seawork exhibition for its marine exhaust silencing technology.
The award was granted for the company's Resonator Silencer, which filters out specific problem noise frequencies from a band cenred around the engine's firing frequency.
Tests show that the silencer significantly reduces noise in both six cylinder or V16 engines.
Commenting on the award James Grazebrook, the firm's managing director, said: "The Spirit of Innovation Award celebrates a real breakthrough in silencing water-injected marine exhaust systems with the ability to tune the system to attack one or more particular frequencies.
"This breakthrough is equally important to commercial vessels as operators currently endure hours at noise levels which can be close to the maximum allowed in industry.
"The award will be a huge help in establishing the product in the commercial sector."
Halyard also collected the award for the Best Equipment category.
This year's Seawork event, which was held at the Canary Islands Fruit Terminal at the Western Docks in Southampton, attracted over 6,000 visitors.
