Major contract beneath the waves

A TECHNOLOGY firm has landed a deal to keep submarine crews in the Dutch Navy safe when plumbing the depths of the world’s oceans.

North East-based Analox Sensor Technology, which supplies air monitoring equipment to the military and commercial diving markets, has launched a new portable product designed for use in submarines.

The company yesterday announced the Royal Netherlands Navy as its first major customer for the product.

Analox will supply nine of its Sub Aspidas for use on a fleet of four Dutch Walrus Class submarines.

Vicky Brown, sales and marketing director at Analox said: “The Royal Netherlands Navy requires accurate dual-gas monitoring in a compact unit, in an environment which is prone to fluctuations in atmospheric pressure.

“The Sub Aspida addresses this need, and ensures the submariners remain safe whilst at work.”

Stokesley-based Analox exports more than 60% of its products overseas.
