WaveGuide 5 Direction-Onboard2

Wave Radar

The next level of our innovative wave radars: measuring waves, directly from a vessel or floating structure. A motion compensated (roll-pitch-heave) version of our unique directional system. It accurately measures wave direction, wave height, wave period and draught. No water contact, no maintenance and no (re-) calibration. So no hassle.

Description

The WaveGuide 5 Direction Onboard 2 is an easy to use, reliable and robust device to measure draught, wave direction, wave height and wave period. The sensor is capable of maintaining a high level of precision and accuracy in harsh environmental conditions.

And is particularly suited to floating offshore installations such as floating turbines, semi-subs, FPSO’s and other offshore vessels.
