Expanding the operational weather window

Our moonpool systems enable the deployment and recovery of mission equipment through an opening in the vessel hull, creating a protected interface between the vessel and the operational environment. 

Drawing on decades of experience, we develop tailored moonpool solutions that help navies expand the operational weather window, support discreet operations and maintain mission readiness in challenging conditions 

Mission bay with 2 types of Launch and recovery solutions. Moonpool system with a-frame side launch

Complete missions without notice

Moonpool systems help navies maintain launch and recovery capabilities in conditions where conventional deployment methods may face limitations.  

By enabling operations from within the vessel, moonpool systems reduce environmental exposure and support safe and efficient handling of mission equipment. 

Extend operational availability

A moonpool system creates a protected interface between the vessel and the operational environment, enabling equipment to be deployed and recovered from within the vessel. 

Increased operational weather window

Continue launch and recovery operations in conditions where conventional handling methods may face limitations.

Protected handling environment

Reduce crew and equipment exposure to wind, waves and external conditions during deployment and recovery. 

Discreet operations

Launch and recover mission equipment through the vessel hull, helping minimise external exposure during sensitive operations.
