In 2007 MSI was awarded a 2 year contract by Daiho Corporation for installation and maintenance of metocean measurement systems in Fort Dauphin Madagascar, as well as processing of all data.

MSI is now in the 2nd year of the contract and while initially visits were made at 2 monthly intervals to the site, at the request of Daiho the frequency of servicing of equipment has been increased to every 6 weeks. During each visit, client-supplied divers recover 3 Nortek Aquadopp current meters, 1 Nortek Vector current meter and 1 RBR wave gauge.

These instruments are serviced (data download, battery change and cleaned of biofouling) before being redeployed. In addition to these instruments, MSI also downloads and processes data from a tide gauge and a Datawell waverider buoy. Data from the waverider is automatically sent to our offices in Cape Town for ongoing validation.

The data is being collected as part of input to the engineering design of the Port of Ehoala.
