Maritime industries such as shipping, dredging, fishing, offshore oil and gas continue to grow in response to rising incomes and population growth. Newer sectors such as offshore deep-water oil and gas, renewable energy, mariculture and seabed mining have begun to play a major role in the economy. The growth of a sustainable global economy will be constrained unless we develop integrated systems for marine environment monitoring supporting efficient management of marine resources.
Marine environment monitoring systems have to withstand complex and harsh operating conditions. Gathering data from marine environment is both complex and expensive operation. Our portfolio in this area consists of development of marine and harbour systems, marine surveys, software and hardware development, database and collection systems, modeling and forecasting, early warning systems. As a certified research organization we participade in various research projects results of which assist our continuous product development.
Our core customer groups include, but are not limited to, marine operators, coastal management authorities, environmental agencies, meteorological departments and offices of civil protection. To be able to respond better to the specific requirements and local conditions in each region, we have established several offices worldwide, including our Dubai office, MicroStep-MIS FZCO, specializing in marine monitoring systems and solutions.
