Through our own staff and network of contractors we offer specialised technical advice on the selection, installation, commissioning and operation of oceanographic instruments and systems. We also have well-established links with international equipment manufacturers, through which we can provide additional high-level advice on, and assistance in, equipment operation, calibration, training, service, maintenance and repairs, spares and warranty issues.
