Water Linked Introduces 3D Sonar Technology

underwater landscapes.Another feature of the Sonar 3D-15 is its user-friendly interface, accessible via a web-based browser. This intuitive design simplifies the integration process, eliminating the need for complex software installations. Moreover, its comprehensive Application Programming Interface (API) enables seamless integration with third-party software, enhancing its adaptability and versatility for a wide range of applications.It is partly due to this new 3D sonar technology that Water Linked was selected last November to take part in the NATO DIANA accelerator program.

CRP Subsea to Supply Cable Protection System for Offshore Wind Farms in Taiwan

off the west coast of Changhua County, Taiwan. The wind farms are expected to be completed by the end of 2025.NjordGuard is an integrated cable protection system designed and developed to protect offshore wind farm power cables in wind turbine generators and offshore substation platforms. It features API qualified materials for abrasion and bend protection and can be deployed within monopile or J-tube interface. According to CRP Subsea, NjordGuard is easily assembled on a vessel to allow speedy installation, and its abrasion resistant, API 17L certified , Uraduct material enables the protection

Surveying Shallow Water from Space: EOMAP Launches SDB-Online

The “Combine” option (multi-image processing) is a game changer in challenging locations, especially with frequent cloud cover or heavy vessel traffic”, says Véronique Jégat, Senior Geo-Data Engineer at Fugro.In addition, bathymetric power users can integrate SDB-Online via API into their own software solutions, like QPS does: “During our prototyping, I was impressed how quickly things came together for the two development teams. Particularly elegant was how EOMAP combined multiple images of the same area to give the best possible depth estimate. The workflow is already
