Case Study: TowBoat One, Inc. and CDIP
The CDIP at Scripps Institution of Oceanography UC San Diego measures waves and sea surface temperatures for weather forecasting, military purposes, port traffic, and more. To collect this information, the CDIP utilizes weather buoys that weigh up to 600 lbs. These buoys are deployed around the world, including here in South Florida, Towboat One Inc. conducts deployments and retrieval for maintenance and replacement.
TowBoat One, Inc. manages buoy deployment and retrieval for the CDIP from South Florida to the Bahamas. This process includes coordinating details with the CDIP, loading and unloading gear and buoys, pinpointing precise locations for placement, and deploying and retrieving buoys at an exact GPS location.
TowBoat One, Inc. partners with a wide range of companies and nonprofit organizations, including Scripps, Lockheed Martin, and more.
