Why choose us?

Trusted by leading research institutions worldwide

“MFP enabled NIOZ precise coordination of people, equipment movement, and research activities in line with ship operations, with efficient use of resources across marine projects.”
Dr. Zeynep Erdem, NMF Science Coordinator NIOZ
“The MFP gives NOC a single, live picture of the marine programme so decisions are made with the whole picture in view: science goals together with equipment, personnel and operational requirements are all in one place. MAAS understand how research ship operations actually work. The MFP was shaped with our planners rather than imposed on them, and it shows in how readily the teams have adopted it.”
Dr Eleanor Darlington, Deputy Director of Research Infrastructure, National Oceanography Centre
