Mediterranean Excursion for Applied Acoustics’ Deep Tow Sparker
The Applied Acoustics deep-tow sparker DTS-500 has recently been deployed in the Mediterranean Sea, off the continental slope of Majorca, working on a project with SOCIB, the Balearic Islands Coastal Observing and Forcasting body. Assisted by SOCIB’s Oceanographic Instrumentation Technician, Carlos Castilla Álvarez, the DTS-500 was deployed in deep water, up to 500m, at a distance up to 1km from the SOCIB research vessel. “We achieved greater than 60m penetration and with increased data resolution, up to 15cms, the sub-bottom profiling results were excellent across
Prysmian Wins Subsea Cables Contract
a track record of both ongoing and completed projects for the connection of islands to mainland grids, like the Negros to Panay project in the Philippines, the Cyclades project in Greece, the Capri-Torre Annunziata project in Italy, the Ibiza-Mallorca and the Mallorca-Spanish mainland project in the Balearic islands, the Phu Quoc project in Vietnam and the Hudson Transmission Project interconnecting Manhattan to New Jersey in the U.S. Prysmian has also recently been awarded the milestone project NSN Link that will interconnect Norway and U.K. along a 740 km route.
