AHC technology boosts US ocean research vessel

When the University of Hawai‘i Marine Center decided to upgrade the winch and offshore crane on its Research Vessel Kilo Moana in 2019, the new Launch and Recovery System was equipped with enhanced winch control with active heave compensation. The solution provides scientists with a safe, efficient and reliable way of deploying water sampling equipment at depths up to 5,000 meters in even the roughest sea conditions.
