Company Mission Our mission at VideoRay is to provide the best value and top efficiency in a small inspection-class ROV. Our reason for forming the company was to make ROVs more accessible to more people who want to explore and capture underwater worlds on video, whether for education, aquaculture, research, investigations, security, or surveys of dams, pipelines, wrecks, or water tanks. Product Mission for VideoRay ROVs By Scott Bentley, President of VideoRay The idea to introduce the world's smallest ROV came to me while skydiving over the North Pole three years ago. During the trip, my friend Bob Christ and I visited the Shirshov Institute in Moscow, which developed the Mir manned submersible that explored the Titanic. Scientists at the Institute were working on a microROV that would be small enough to enter other parts of Titanic and the WW2 Japanese I-52 submarine. Bob and I were fascinated, and we started investigating whether anyone was selling microsubs commercially. We were fortunate to find Inuktun in Canada, a company with a design for an 8-pound ROV that had been proven over a decade of use and engineering. We purchased the technology and started VideoRay with dream of introducing divers and underwater explorers to an affordable ROV that could go places no other ROV could go. VideoRay is the only proven, personal ROV on the market, with hundreds of units in operation in around the world. We've continually honed the VideoRay, but we have held fast to our original missions of affordability, portability, usability, and safety in a micro ROV.

The World Shipping Council is a Washington, D.C.-based trade association representing more than forty liner shipping companies serving America's international trade. Council members include the largest container lines in the world as well as smaller niche carriers, and carriers providing roll-on/roll-off and heavy-lift services. In addition to ocean transportation, they provide a wide range of intermodal and logistics services to American importers and exporters. The Council's goal is to provide a coordinated voice for the liner shipping industry in its work with policymakers and other industry groups interested in international transportation issues, including: maritime security, regulatory policy, tax issues, safety, the environment, harbor dredging and upgrading the infrastructure needed to handle America's booming trade. Partners in America's Trade The liner shipping industry is a vital, contributing partner in America's foreign trade and economic growth. Over the past ten years, U.S. international trade in goods has doubled and rapid growth is expected in the next decade as well. Last year, U.S. oceanborne trade amounted to more than $700 billion. Liner shipping, with its network of vessels, containers, port terminals and information systems, handled two-thirds of that trade and did so smoothly, efficiently and at rates lower than those fifteen years ago. These low rates enhance the competitiveness of U.S. products in world markets and bring a variety of quality goods to our homes at low cost. Your VCR was carried from Hong Kong for about one dollar; ocean shipping services from Asia added about 40 cents to the price of the sneakers you're wearing; and it cost three cents to put that bottle of German beer in your refrigerator. The liner shipping industry is a constant innovator- linking American businesses directly and efficiently with their customers around the world on a door-to-door basis. The industry is also an essential investor in the transportation system that carries the United States' international commerce. Liner carriers have invested over $150 billion in transportation assets currently in service worldwide and, if trade projections are accurate, they will need to invest billions of dollars more in ships and equipment to service trade growth over the next ten years. With confidence in how public policy will affect our industry, members of the World Shipping Council can build on this partnership in serving America's trade and keeping the country's economy strong and growing.
