Kongsberg Maritime Launches new HiPAP 602 Ultra Deepwater SSBL Positioning Tool

baseline positioning techniques (LBL), thereby reducing operational cost. The system is fully compatible with the entire range of existing medium frequency cNODE transponders and modems, with depth ratings available from 100m to 7,000m.The HiPAP 602 shares its modular construction principles with its sister product, the HiPAP 502 acoustic underwater positioning and navigation system, allowing the 502 to be easily converted to a 602 by swapping transducers. For long range towfish tracking the transducer can be fitted with a 30° tilt adapter. The HiPAP 602 is fully compatible with the latest HAIN Subsea

ISF Watchkeeper Upgraded

, at IT Energy. “It is now more effective than ever at taking care of the full range of on board requirements for demonstrating compliance with crew work and rest hour regulations.”   As part of the update, substantial improvements have also been made to Watchkeeper Online, the sister product designed to support shore based personnel.  Reports now run many times faster, analysis capabilities are continually being added and the new working schedule report from ISF Watchkeeper 3.5 can be rapidly uploaded to Watchkeeper Online.  API data integration has been improved and overtime

MakaiLay Suite for Cable Layers

Makai Ocean Engineering, Inc. said it continues to address issues experienced by the subsea power cable industry by enhancing submarine cable lay software, MakaiLay, and its desktop simulation sister product, MakaiPlan Pro. Specifically, three key features are being integrated into the Power Cable modules for each of these products that are built specifically for power cable installers: 1. Cable Top Angle. MakaiLay now has the option to use the cable departure angle, or “Top Angle”, which can be measured at the over-boarding point. When high quality measurements of top tension are not

Figure 1: The new Heave Analysis tool for shallow water power cable lays accounts for vessel heave and ocean conditions (currents, water depth, seabed slope) to help installers understand impacts on the safety of the cable (bend radius and bottom tension). The tool is now available with MakaiLay Power (at-sea installation), and MakaiPlan Pro Power (in-office simulation/training).

AML Delivers Cabled UV Biofouling Control

UV AML Oceanographic released the sister product to UV Xchange, Cabled UV, which aims to bring UV biofouling control to an even wider array of applications and devices. As promised in the September 2014 in Marine Technology Reporter article Biofouling Foiled, the new product launch comes six months after the debut of UV Xchange, a product which uses UV light as a method to control biofouling on instrumentation. Cabled UV provides the technology of UV Xchange in a format compatible with almost any device and capable of accommodating the individual requirements of each deployment, the manufacturer said.
