Ørsted, PGE Offer Look Into Future of Offshore Surveying
U.S. marine robotics company Ocean Infinity has completed an offshore wind farm survey for Ørsted and PGE in the Polish sector of the Baltic Sea, using lean crewed vessel and real-time remote data management.The project team based in Ocean Infinity’s operations centre in Gothenburg, used a multi-beam echo sounder (MBES) and 3D multi-channel ultra-high resolution seismic (3D-UHRS) equipment deployed from an Ocean Infinity Armada lean crewed vessel over 540 km to identify sub-surface boulders in support of the Baltica 2 project installation campaign for wind turbines and offshore substation
Echoexplore 4 aims to Simplify Hydroacoustic Data Management
Echoview Software releases Echoexplore 4 a tool which aims to help catalogue large numbers of hydroacoustic files effortlessly. To do this, Echoexplore identifies compatible echosounder and sonar data files on a local computer or local network, extracts metadata, and then creates a spatial catalog that allows users to browse the data that has been located. Whether searching for specific hydroacoustic data sets, sorting and browsing through lists or maps, or filtering based on parameters like geographical position, date, time, hardware model, pulse duration, transmitted power and more, Echoexplore

Remote, Autonomous Ship Ops Drive Future of Marine Data Management
Remote, lean crewed, and autonomous ship operations are playing a more extensive role than ever before in the maritime industry. This paradigm shift is not only revolutionising the way ships are operated but also driving and being driven by significant advancements in data management and data handling. We sat down with a group of industry professionals from Ocean Infinity, a leading maritime technology company, to explore the pivotal role of data in this transformation. From the challenges of data collection and bottlenecks to the power of picking the right data to process at the right time, our
US Invests $1 Million in Advancing Arctic Data Management
The Department of Commerce and NOAA announced a $1 million Notice of Funding Opportunity for competitive grants to help improve regional climate data and information products for the Arctic region. These grants are funded through the Inflation Reduction Act —the largest climate investment in history — as part of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda.“As a nation, we face the challenges of climate change,” said Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo. “The Arctic region, which is warming faster than anywhere in our nation, demands immediate action. As part of
US Navy Taps Into Sofar Ocean's Data Buoy Network for Weather Forecasting
;At the inaugural knowledge sharing event representatives from Naval Oceanography and Sofar gave presentations, facilitated discussion, and identified potential areas of collaboration around three primary topics: hardware for ocean data collection, data assimilation and data-as-a-service (DaaS) and data management. At the event, Sofar highlighted its Spotter and Smart Mooring marine sensing devices; the development of the Bristlemouth open ocean connectivity standard; its approach to ensemble-based data assimilation and coupled modeling; and its DaaS products. Representatives from Naval Oceanography&rsquo
