Why measure motion?Knowing the motion and global position of vessels and marine platforms is important for design verification, integrity assurance, R&D and more. DSA’s Marine Motion Measurement System called the M3S has been designed to make it easy to log accelerations, velocities, heading, attitude, and positions of:

ShipsWave energy converters (WEC)Tidal energy platformsOffshore platformsBargesDocks / breakwatersDrill ships

MARINE MOTION MEASUREMENTDSA’S TURN-KEY VESSEL AND MARINE PLATFORM MOTION MEASUREMENT, DATA LOGGING,

AND POST-PROCESSING SOLUTION

Turn Key Working with your organization, DSA will configure and install the M3S hardware on your marine platform to measure and log motion data. DSA will configure the system to collect data for the desired length of time, statistically summarize the collected data, and then deliver the raw data to your company via download or digital storage media.

CustomizableDSA can supply standard systems from our pool of field-proven equipment; alternatively we also can develop customised solutions using sensors, and instrumentation to suit unique individual project requirements.

Tailored ReportingIn addition to the configuration and installation of the M3S, DSA will collate and analyze the recorded data. The content of each report is tailored to your company’s requirements. This means your company spends more time assessing the data and making decisions that help your business, and less time downloading, processing, and validating the collected data.
