Survey Systems
& Instrumentation

Vessel charters include deployment equipment (winches, cables, wire ropes, A-frames, J-frames, davits and cranes) for deepsea operations. State-of-the-art navigation, communications, and survey systems are also available. The shipowners are research organizations specializing in ocean exploration since 1949. The following is a sample listing of the equipment typically available. The actual suite of equipment varies from ship to ship, but systems can be easily transferred to meet specific needs. Technical specifications are available upon request, as well as references from our customers. Pre-survey technical consultation is provided, as well as senior operations and maintenance personnel for at-sea operations.
