We solve your marine measurement challenges
Marine and offshore systems require reliable measurement to prevent failure and ensure safe operation.
Most problems arise because:
- Sensors fail under real offshore conditions
- Load, position or pressure is not measured accurately
- Standard solutions do not fit the application
- Hazardous environments restrict sensor selection
We solve this with a combination of standard and customised sensor solutions, supported by engineering expertise.

Case: High-precision marine gyro compasses
A navigation system manufacturer needed higher accuracy and reliability for autonomous and polar marine operations.
By integrating a triaxial tactical grade gyroscope, they achieved stable and precise heading data, even under dynamic conditions.
The result is a compact solution that supports engineers and system integrators with reliable navigation performance in demanding environments.

Applications
Custom sensor solutions where standard marine sensors fail
Standard sensors often do not fit marine and offshore applications. Mounting constraints, dynamic loads and harsh environments require a tailored approach.
Althen delivers custom sensor solutions for complex marine systems. From superyachts to offshore installations, we adapt proven sensor technology to your exact requirements.
Custom solutions include:
• Marine-adapted sensor designs
• Custom ranges for load, position and pressure
• Integration with control and monitoring systems
• Tailored outputs and cabling
• Application-specific calibration
We support you in defining specifications and delivering a solution that works in your system.
