Is it better to rent or buy a motion reference unit (MRU)?

Deciding whether to rent or purchase a motion reference unit depends on the project duration and frequency of use. While renting might appear suitable for very short-term, isolated projects, purchasing often presents a more cost-effective and reliable solution in the long run. Owning the sensor ensures availability when needed and eliminates recurring rental costs.

Our MRUs are engineered for reliability and longevity, often requiring no recalibration during their operational life for most applications, significantly reducing maintenance overhead and total cost of ownership compared to repeated rentals. At the moment Norwegian Subsea does not offer a rental service of our products, but in some cases we offer to sell a discounted demo-unit for potential recurring customers. Please contact us if you are interested in a testing our MRUs.
