sensor can be placed in situ for an extended period with easy access to highly accurate data. Compact and robust, the Hyperion Crude Oil is ideal as a standalone sensor for ROV/AUV integration or as part of a multi-sensor array. SWiFT Deep CTD - The new SWiFT Deep CTD provides survey-grade sensor technology, coupled with the convenience of Bluetooth® wireless technology, rechargeable battery and an integral GNSS module to geo-locate each profile. Using Valeport’s high accuracy sensor technology to combine sensors for multiple profiles in a single drop the SWiFT Deep CTD can operate to
GeoAcoustis Launches New Sub-Bottom Profiler and Software Integration Capabilities
Hydroacoustic sensor technology developer GeoAcoustics has launched the GeoPulse 2 Sub-Bottom Profiler, while also announcing the new integration between GeoPulse Compact and Geo-Suite seismic acquisition software.Designed for diverse applications including pipeline detection, geological surveys, dredging surveys, environmental assessments, and buried object detection, GeoPulse 2 is a highly versatile tool built on 40 years of hydroacoustic technology development by GeoAcoustics.GeoPulse 2 is able to reach into deeper waters for the acquisition of essential data for the development and operation of

environmental change as the project develops. Valeport’s SWiFT CTDplus Chlorophyll a profiler was the obvious choice due to its simplicity of use, internal rechargeable battery, and an integral GNSS module to geo-locate each profile. Using Valeport’s world-leading high accuracy sensor technology to combine sensors for multiple profiles in a single drop, the SWiFT CTDplus Chlorophyll a measured the physical parameters of the seawater including Conductivity, Temperature and Depth with Chlorophyll a observations. These are key indicators for biological production and climate change which

has six apprentices in training with a further ten graduated apprentices fully employed by Valeport.“The extension to the production facilities and additional space will enable us to support our clients across the world and ensure we continue to be at the forefront of premium, precision sensor technology," said Valeport’s Managing Director Matt Quartley. “The increase in our manufacturing capacity and new staff to support our expansion plans puts us very much on the front foot.”Following refurbishment, including the addition of new solar panels to the roof, the
Sercel Extends its OBN Portfolio
CGG announced that Sercel now has a complete portfolio of seabed nodal solutions for all water depths down to 6,000 m to meet growing industry demand for ocean bottom node (OBN) seismic surveys. Based on Sercel’s QuietSeis broadband digital sensor technology, the full OBN portfolio includes the GPR300, the GPR700, the GPR3000 and the MicrOBS.The GPR300 nodal solution was designed for seismic acquisition in shallow water down to 300 meters. Since its launch in 2021, over 50,000 nodes have been deployed in the field.The GPR700 was unveiled this week at the IMAGE 2023 convention in Houston, extending

Knipovich Ridge. To meet NPD’s needs, Argeo will mobilize its two high-specification ultra-deepwater SeaRaptor AUVs, and its subsea vessel Argeo Searcher. "Argeo’s fleet of AUV’s are equipped with state-of-the-art sensors, including integrated Electro-Magnetic sensor technology, Argeo Listen and Argeo Whisper delivering valuable high-quality data, from environmental impact assessment and early exploration to resource assessment and extraction monitoring," Argeo said."Advanced sensor technology delivering actionable data is key for enabling the development
Kongsberg Establishes Separate Ocean Mapping Business Area
Kongsberg has established a new business area, Kongsberg Discovery, for its advanced robotics and sensor technology designed to map, monitor and understand the ocean space.The new business area has more than thousand employees located in Horten, Trondheim and Oslo in Norway, in addition to offices in Spain, the UK, the US, Canada, Singapore and Malaysia. Previously Sensors and Robotics was a division under Kongsberg Maritime."Ocean covers 70 % of the earth's surface. It controls the weather and temperature, distributes heat across the globe and is the answer to some of the most significant
