Helideck Motion Monitoring
A Motion Reference Unit (MRU) provides real-time roll, pitch, and heave measurements that couple with wind data for analysis computers. An MRU increases the precision and reliability of a Helideck landing.
The user’s software provides these combined Helideck data in real-time to the helicopter in order to ensure a safe landing.

Wave Buoys in the Arctic Sea Ice
Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ) Program Over recent decades the Arctic has warmed more than any other region leading to significant reduction in sea ice volume. The combination of increased ice-free area and more mobile ice cover has led to the emergence of a seasonal marginal ice zone (MIZ) in the Beaufort Sea. The Office of … Continued
MTR Article on Bathymetric USV
The Perfect INS for USV-based Bathymetry Like most unmanned systems, USVs have space and power constraints. Ekinox-D is the best INS to be integrated into this type of vehicle. Weighing less than 600 grams and low power (<7W), the Ekinox-D INS integrates an RTK dual antenna GNSS receiver for a centimeter-level position. It provides a … Continued
Ports of Jersey Choose the Apogee-U
Multibeam System for Ports of Jersey Ports of Jersey, UK, took delivery of a new Multibeam system from Swathe Services last week. The equipment, software and support package was chosen by Aaron Gavey, deputy Marine Operations manager, to enhance the organisation’s new commercial survey capability.

Tips
Small Wave Period Sensing For More Safety
The Ellipse Series delivers a 5 cm Heave which automatically adjusts to the wave period. The wave period is quite short (0 to 15 seconds) which is crucial for safety.
