FIU Chooses Marine Diagnostic Tools

Florida International University (FIU) is a leading educator for students seeking careers in Marine Biology. Students that go through this program receive a strong foundation in structural and evolutionary developmental biology, physiology, organismal diversity, physical oceanography and ecology.

With a fleet of vessels that travel through the Everglades, Miami River, Biscayne Bay, and the Atlantic Ocean the need for safe and properly operating equipment is paramount. By using Marine Diagnostic Tools for their diagnostic tool, repair information, and remote technical assistance they are able to keep equipment on the water.

"Having functional vessels that get out onto the water, making sure they are reliable, and working is absolutely essential for the research we are doing," is how Heather Bracken-Grissom explains it.

The main issues that FIU was experiencing was downtime. Previously they would outsource all of their boat and engine maintenance to outside vendors, which created a lot of unknown. By bringing repairs in-house, FIU was able to drastically improve their uptime and scheduling.

When Jason was first brought on to help FIU, they had 7 boats broke down and in the yard. They were able to quickly diagnose, repair, and return the vessels to service thanks to the diagnostic tools provided by Marine Diagnostic Tools.
