MVP200 Underway Profiler

The MVP200 is one of two large systems designed for demanding oceanographic surveys. This model can reach depths of 265 metres at a survey speed of eight knots, allowing you to collect critical water column data in real-time while your vessel is underway. With the MVP-200, reach depths of up to 660 meters without sacrificing efficiency or accuracy.

Sabrina Speich - Professor of Physical Oceanography and Climate Sciences


"Until now, small-scale, rapidly changing dynamic ocean structures have been extremely difficult to observe in three dimensions and in real time. The MVP300 is a game-changer: it allows us to profile the ocean down to the abyss while the ship is underway, capturing physical, chemical and biological data at unprecedented resolution. With it, we can finally map how these fleeting features work, and better understand their role in shaping the climate system."

Björn Bergman - Head of Marine Operations and Technology


"The use of an MVP has increased our efficiency during survey operations a lot compared to traditional profiling methods. Our MVP30-350 has proven itself to be fully operationally reliable and was easy to install and integrate within our survey setup. The high quality data from the sensors has been crucial in succeeding with our surveys in the most difficult conditions of the Baltic ocean."

Gardline Limited

Emilie Hall - Project Engineer


"We have been utilising our AML MVP 30-350 systems on offshore wind farm projects for the last two years where we have found the systems to be robust and reliable, delivering accurate profiles multiple times a day. The ability to perform real-time underway SV profiles from a fully independent system significantly increases productivity and survey efficiency. In addition to this, the technical support we have received to date has been excellent."

Tyler Hennon - Research Assistant Professor


"We were impressed with the overall reliability of this system and the quality of the data, so much so that we are actually in the midst of developing a proposal to acquire our own MVP 30-350. Additionally, we thank AML for their expert on-site assistance with installation and training on the use of the MVP 30-350 during the mobilization period. Darrell’s technical knowledge and advice gave us confidence that we would be able to successfully operate the MVP 30-350."
