Problem we are solving
We develop and produce on-demand Winches, Launch and Recovery Systems and Instrument Deployment Units for the handling of equipment or gear located underwater, either it is fishing trawler, remotely operated vehicle or scientific probe.
Based on customer requirements, vessel type, or application area, we can configure the equipment with a wide array of features.

We have 2 innovative products in our portfolio, which have not been yet commercialized):
- On the go CTD system, which allows performing CTD profiling without the need of stopping the vessel every time. Resulting in a significant reduction of ship fuel consumption and CO2 emissions during CTD profiling.
- GT-Series Instrument Deployment Unit (GTDU) for small survey vessels (approx. 8-15 m LOA), which allows saving fuel and reducing CO2 emissions by utilizing the most effective cruising speed of the boat. Without GTDU survey boats can't go faster than 15 knots while cruising speed is in most cases over 20 knots.
