Buoy Workshop 2026

Pre-Workshop Event: ProteusDS Mooring Design Seminar and Workshop

ProteusDS Mooring Design Seminar

When designing and deploying moorings, it's easy to get lost in the details of all the components you need.

What's needed is purpose-built software to make it easy to find parts, arrange, them, and adjust them into a design. ProteusDS Oceanographic Designer is a free purpose-built software tool for oceanographic mooring design. Join face to face or virtually for a Mooring Design Seminar with ProteusDS Oceanographic Designer in partnership with MTS and the Buoy Workshop. We'll cover the details of the design process and go through working with the software to put together basic mooring designs. Use the live training session to ask questions on software use and collaborate with others in the oceanographic mooring sector.
