I was going to ask that too. For such an outfit, there are good "COTS" GPS driven NTP servers just for that sort of application. (Or you can struggle like some of us to roll your own...) There are WWV referenced boxes too (reception should be good with that size salt water ground plane!) and no doubt a whole host of other satllite derived things, so you are not tied to one potential point of failure. As well as any indipendant on-board Rubidium source? There must be a valid reason for not going that sort of route, it'd be enlightening to know why. Unless "oceanographic vessel" is a euphamism for something that spends much of it's time "out of sight of any satellites!" Cheers.
