An Oak Bay company is supplying the Canadian Coast Guard with technology to monitor abandoned and derelict boats across the country.
“We feel so proud as a company knowing that our products are being used to help the environment,” said Barnacle Systems CEO Brandon Wright, who employs 14 staff and contractors out of its headquarters at Oak Bay Marina. Each contains GPS units and accelerometer/gyroscope units that monitor the list and pitch, and any sudden impacts, and can determine if a vessel is beginning to sink, or if it’s affected during a storm or from bouncing off the sea floor.
Wright said the coast guard will determine where and when the units will be placed on abandoned boats.
