Interface solutions support the thriving and growing global blue economy by providing sensor technologies for exploration, research, energy production, sustainability, transport, and aquaculture activities.
Oceans cover about 70% of the planet’s surface and would be the seventh largest economy in the world if it were a country. The blue economy emphasizes the economic potential of the ocean and other coastal resources, along with addressing other environmental long-term benefits.
Interface understands that maritime applications are some of the most complex because they require specially designed test and measurement equipment to handle the often-harsh environments in testing, monitoring, and ongoing operational use. This includes our line of products, such as our stainless steel, sealed, ATEX-certified, and submersible load cells, load pins, shackles, tension links, and wireless telemetry solutions.
Interface’s submersible and environmentally protected load cells and instrumentation can be used in various aspects of the blue economy, including applications in fisheries, cargo handling and shipping, mining, aquacultural monitoring, and offshore renewable energy.
