The National Oceanography Centre (NOC) requires four acoustic current meters for the measurement of ocean currents from long-term deep-water moorings. The contract was awarded to maintain continuity and compatibility with existing instruments, ensuring reliable, high-quality oceanographic data. Alternative instruments could not meet the technical and operational requirements for accuracy, durability, diagnostic capability, and integration with existing systems. The chosen supplier was the only provider able to deliver instruments that met all mandatory criteria for long-term deep-water deployment and programme continuity.
