National Marine Equipment Pool Capability

The National Marine Equipment Pool (NMEP) is the largest centralised marine scientific equip­ment pool in Europe with a diverse range of scientific instruments and equipment capable of sampling from the sea surface to the deep ocean. Holding more than 10,000 instruments and technologies, it provides scientists with access to skilled marine technicians and engineers.

Our people specialise in every stage of the development and deployment of the equipment that we provide to scientists for research expeditions. Working together with the international scientific community, the NMEP is a hub for advice and expertise for current and future technologies.

Equipment within the National Marine Equipment Pool is available for use by the marine science community. Contact us for more information or to arrange commercial hire of our instruments and vehicles.
