Our Story
Peter spent his early career in the world of marine engineering in the oil and gas sector, solving problems above and below the sea for others. But he wanted to do more than just help others in engineering service, he wanted to deliver a disruptive innovation based on cutting edge sensor technologies , something that was a tough challenge but if successful would bring a lasting difference to the world, and save lives. Peter's early work was in concept design and development with a focus on acoustic imaging, electronic and software developments and the use of data to make better critical decisions in the marine environment. And so, with a passion for using sensors to help measure difficult things, Peter set about designing early prototypes in 2018 with a simple ambition to create a robust and accurate in-rope sensor that would radically change the future of marine rope safety, protecting lives, through the use of real-time rope tension sensor data to drive more informed decisions. In 2023, Sureline (the rope sensor) was granted its principle patent and completed rigorous test-bed trials and some early sea trials. In 2025, Sureline will embark on more extensive sea trials with leading global mooring and towing industry partners, suppliers, and regulators to bring Sureline to market
