03:31 amA proud day for all at WH Scott & Son Engineers Ltd (WHS), as a project the team had worked on for over a year was unveiled last week in Merseyside. The WHS team had the pleasure of supplying a scientific mooring winch for the RRS Sir David Attenborough ship, famously first known as Boaty McBoatface.
The team were extremely honoured to have played a part in this pursuit of scientific advancement, which will provide scientists researching oceans, ice and atmosphere a floating laboratory with state-of-the-art facilities. With an essential part of research involving the need to deploy scientific mooring equipment from onboard the ship, a special purpose built scientific mooring winch was required and WHS had the privilege of supplying the equipment plus providing support on the design and testing of the winch.
