Radar-based wave monitoring introduced to Seatronics’ rental fleet


Miros (wave and current data provider to the maritime industry) has established a new distribution agreement with Seatronics, which specialises in the rental and sale of marine electronic equipment. The deal means Miros will introduce its range of radar-based solutions to the Seatronics global rental pool.

Miros said the technology delivers real-time insights about local sea state and marine conditions, without the need for any equipment submerged in water.

The range includes WaveFinder and RangeFinder, both of which are robust sensors, purpose-built for accurate wave measurements from floating and fixed installations, respectively. 

The stand-alone instruments have embedded processing and storage, “enabling easy and secure access to data, both locally and remotely, by utilising modern IoT technologies” Miros said. 

It added that the solutions have been designed with ease of installation in mind, only requiring power and an internet connection to begin delivering real-time data to all relevant stakeholders, anywhere, anytime and on any device.

Miros’ flagship, the Wave & Current Radar, is a high-performance remote sensor for the measurement of directional wave spectra and surface currents. It calibrates automatically, “eliminating the need for any reference equipment, and has a significant track record of operating in the most punishing conditions, all across the globe”.

Brett Laurenson, head of business development – Europe & Africa, Seatronics said: “Seatronics remain dedicated to providing our clients with new and innovative time efficient solutions which also contribute to enhanced safety and performance.”

Hildur Smaradottir, chief commercial officer, Miros added: “Miros is very enthusiastic to join forces with Seatronics and to provide their customers with modern technology which gives accurate sea state measurements while allowing them easy access to digital data.”
