BOT PRESS RELEASE: FEBRUARY 2000

BROOKE OCEAN TECHNOLOGY (BOT) IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE A NUMBER OF RECENT SUCCESSES WITH THE MOVING VESSEL PROFILER (MVP™) PRODUCT LINE.

The Moving Vessel Profiler (MVP™) is a computer-controlled winch and overboarding system designed to collect a water column profile from a vessel while underway. The system has applications for CTD data collection for ocean science and the sound velocity calibration of multibeam sounders and other survey operations.

MVP300-1700

BOT have recently delivered a Moving Vessel Profiler 300-1700 (MVP300-1700) system to Nippon Kaiyo in Japan. Nippon, who are the Japanese representative for BOT, have acquired the MVP™ to carry out CTD survey work and will use the unit as a demonstrator for the Japanese market. The system is capable of casts to 300 m at 12 knots, 850 m knots at 5 knots and 1700 m with the vessel stopped. Nippon has acquired the system complete with a multi-sensor free-fall fish, a single-sensor free-fall fish, CTD and direct measuring Sound Velocity sensors. The system has applications for CTD data collection in support of Oceanography and Sound Velocity profile collection in support of multibeam survey operations.

The entire system weighs less than 250 pounds and fits in the stern of a small survey launch. The MVP30™ is capable of collecting a profile to 30 m at 12 knots, 50 m at 5 knots and 140 m standing still. The system is designed to collect sound velocity profiles in support of multibeam survey operations.
The system was recently tested aboard the Canadian Hydrographic Survey Launch PLOVER, a copy of the test results can be found on BOT's MVP web page (www.brooke-ocean.com/mvp_main.html). The Test Report is also available online as a PDF document (617k). Download it here.
