Werum equips research vessel Mya II of Alfred Wegener Institute with DSHIP software
AWI puts new RV Mya II into service / Werum's data management system DSHIP ensures acquisition, archiving and evaluation of measurement data

Lueneburg, Germany, 23 October 2013 – The new RV Mya II, which has only recently been delivered to the German Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Center for Polar and Marine Research (AWI), has been equipped by Werum Software & Systems AG with their DSHIP data and information management system. The data management system will acquire the measurement data collected during the research cruises of RV Mya II. It will also archive and centrally provide the measurement data on shore at the AWI. Being stationed on the German island of Sylt, RV Mya II will go on one-day research cruises on the Wadden Sea and on the North Sea up to Helgoland.

One data management system for all AWI research vessels
RV Mya II is 21 meters long and, thus, the smallest research vessel Werum's DSHIP data management system is used on. The vessel is equipped with a variety of measuring instruments and sensors as they are also installed on larger AWI research vessels. Now, all data can be acquired and administered with systems of the same type. Integration into the already existing infrastructure is ensured so that the scientists can archive and evaluate the data as they need it. In addition to the good experience of working with Werum in the past, this was another important reason for the AWI to decide for DSHIP again.

Unattended continuous operation
RV Mya II also is the first vessel that does not require specially trained personnel on board the vessel for continuous operation of DSHIP. Any administration or maintenance work required can be performed at the AWI via remote maintenance access.

DSHIP – successfully operated for many years
Werum's DSHIP is a data and information management system especially designed for the acquisition and maintenance of scientific data on research vessels and research aircrafts. The AWI already runs DSHIP on the RV Polarstern and RV Heincke, on the research aircrafts Polar 5 and Polar 6 as well as on the research station Neumayer III. Furthermore, DSHIP is installed on many other vessels in Germany and in other European countries.
