Complete FerryBox underway system OceanPack. Almost all important parameters are included. Special features are: the automatic and sealed water sampler, the nutrient analysis system with an automatically cleaned filter, the meteorologic Top-Box and the dataserver with passenger display. This OceanPack system was designed to operate under extremely rough North-Sea conditions with very little maintenance.

“The instrumentation will greatly enhance the continuous oceanographic measurements made by the Belgica by taking advantage of the significant technological improvements since the design of the existing (salinity, temperature) systems.
It is quite simple: during navigation, sea water is pumped on board through a pipeline from the front of the ship. This water is automatically run through several instruments installed in one of the laboratories of the Belgica. Many parameters can now be measured continuously (salinity, temperature,…) including new important ecosystem parameters such as nitrate, phosphate, silicate, dissolved oxygen, CO₂, turbidity, alkalinity and phytoplankton pigments.
In addition, the new equipment allows automatic acquisition and preservation of 16 water samples, rendering Belgica operations significantly more efficient by reducing onboard human resources. Data will be available soon in near real-time via MUMM’s public web site and following quality control, from the Belgian Marine Data Centre
