DNV GL Recertifies Rutter’s Wave and Current Monitoring system

After extensive testing, the sigma S6 WaMoS II Wave and Surface Current Monitoring System was recertified by DNV GL in May of this year. The system was certified compliant with IEC 60945 Ed. 4 (2002-08) maritime navigation and IEC 62288 Ed. 2.0 (2014-07) radio-communication equipment and systems for Wave Monitoring Systems.The sigma S6 WaMoS II Wave and Surface Current Monitoring System provides real-time wave and surface current measurements using standard navigational radars as a sensor. The operator is able to effectively identify environmental conditions and safe operational windows with the help

, where it can be automatically distributed to the most relevant recipients, post-processed and eventually raise relevant alarms. If an operator wishes to perform an unscheduled task, it is inserted into the work queue and scheduled to happen immediately or at a specified time. If high-rate communication equipment is installed within the field, it can be used to allow a remote operator to provide real-time commands on more complex tasks. FlatFish is the only AUV able to live on the seabed in a docking station and perform visual inspections and 3D reconstruction of subsea equipment and pipelines with
