First off is a novel alternative energy power facility for the Datawell range of Waverider buoys. By combining solar panels with new 'Boostcap' capacitors and primary cells, the company can now offer a hybrid, long lasting power solution for buoys remotely deployed in any environment.

Next is the new software programme 'Seasaw21', which provides operational users such as port authorities and dredging companies with real-time, reactive digital displays of wave parameters coupled with trend viewing and buoy location monitoring.

Also on display at Seawork will be the new solid state wave motion sensor 'MOSE', ideal for integration to navigation buoys and similar third party platforms. Finally, there will be a display of examples of the navigation buoy mooring design service which is offered by Datawell and is based on the company's vast experience of successfully mooring buoys in extreme and hostile conditions.
