Offshore Engineer reports that the MMS has set a July 1st deadline for all Gulf of Mexico drilling units to have GPS transponders installed for post-hurricane tracking. “The agency will also request access to realtime GPS data so MMS and US Coast Guard officials can track rigs set adrift by a storm.” This is in addition to increased mooring requirements and restrictions on drilling locations during hurricane season.

Hey Maitri!
I’m sure you are aware of WAVCIS~Wave, Current, Surge Information System for Coastal Louisiana
http://www.wavcis.lsu.edu/
It is the locations of the Surge Guages and usually they fit these onto Oil/Gas platforms. It is a pretty good inventory, constantly updated and live, movable mashup thingy…
