Established in 1974, AML Oceanographic designs and manufactures instrumentation and deployment systems for hydrographic surveying, environmental monitoring, and other subsea applications. AML supplies customers around the world and is recognized for their innovation, including pioneering time-of-flight sound velocity.

UK Flowtechnik
UK Flowtechnik is a UK based company that manufactures and supplies flow meters, instrumentation, process sensors, specialist pumps, magnetic couplings and high quality hydraulic components. They are providing a magnetic coupling system, which is an innovative system to transfer torque from the motor through the boat hull to the propeller with no leaking. Traditional seals and stuffing boxes are prone to leaking, wear, friction, and require periodic maintenance. A magnetic coupling, on the other hand, uses magnetic fields to covey torque through a sealed barrier with almost no friction, and unlimited longevity. www.ukflowtechnik.com
