We recently installed one of our weather stations with the camera option on the shipwrecked Rena to assist the salvage operation. The station was installed 48 hours after receiving the order. The helicopter pilots have found the live weather data to be valuable as landing on the ship can be dangerous in high winds. This photo taken from the weather station shows a helicopter landing on a makeshift platform on top of a shipping container.

 

Harvest now have 5m and 10m portable or permanent weather station masts availabe. Contact us for more info.
