“We already support and maintain numerous tide gauges and weather stations around the world for our port and renewable energy customers, so this contract is a natural extension of our work,” commented Ralph Bostock, monitoring business manager at OceanWise.

“We are particularly looking forward to using our expertise and experience in environmental monitoring systems and applying it to unique and remote locations.”

The UKHO has identified MEMS as an important component of a number of government programmes including the Overseas Territories Seabed Mapping Programme.

Under the agreement, OceanWise will be responsible for the supply, installation and support of environmental monitoring equipment such as tide gauges and weather stations, as well as providing observational data to the local community and global initiatives, such as the Global Sea Level Observing System.

This win follows a series of other contracts awarded to the growing Hampshire-based company, including the maintenance and upgrade of the UK National Tide Gauge Network.
