Kongsberg Discovery Unveils Sub-Bottom Profiling Tool for Proprietary Echo Sounders
Norwegian ocean science technology provider Kongsberg Discovery has introduced EM®SBP software system, which offers sub-bottom profiling capability for Kongsberg's deep-water multi beam echo sounder (MBES) systems EM 124 and EM 304, without the need for additional hardware.A sub-bottom profiling system complements MBES surveys tailored to map the seabed and sub-seafloor.Gathering sub-bottom data is necessary to understand sediment thickness and distribution, as well as for detecting buried objects or infrastructure, such as boulders or pipelines.A sub-bottom signal must have specific properties
AI Tool to Tackle Boulder Issues for Offshore Wind Developments
to calculate the time and cost of boulder clearance.Ocean Geophysics’ new AI-driven boulder identification tool leverages a machine learning algorithm that allows for the automatic detection of boulders as small as 25 cm in size and automatically removes duplicates, according to the company.The software can process entire seabed survey areas quickly, taking around one second per side-scan line to detect all boulders, Ocean Geophysics claims.The company will integrate the tool with its specialist offering of processing, interpreting and reporting of marine geophysical data, noting that the software
Metis and Esvagt Team Up to Enhance SOV Data Analytics
context of a five-day forecast for weather conditions, added Theodossopoulos.Features include a new depiction of total fuel oil consumption by activity across multiple scenarios, including transit, personnel transfer, time-in-port, etc., which takes account of different weather conditions.The enhanced software functionality also introduces a heightened level of transparency to dynamic positioning (DP) operations taking into consideration that DP systems play a critical role in maintaining positions and ensuring the safe transfer of technicians to offshore installations using 'walk-to-work' gangways
New Cloud Platform for Subsea Survey Data
to actionable insight and information with its cloud based MDP, which enables access to underwater sensor data in near real-time. Further, the platform’s automated analytics improves quality and presents results within standardized parameters, so stakeholders are not required to purchase multiple software packages.“We have taken a completely technology agnostic approach in that data from any subsea sensors can be directly transmitted to our platform, where it is safely stored in a maintained and secured data space, which also provides full management and processing capabilities. From here it
NEW PRODUCT: EIVA Debuts Entry-level Hydrographic Survey Software
EIVA’s new software variant NaviSuite Kuda Core provides advanced hydrographic survey software capabilities at an entry-level price. Tailored to support hydrographic surveys with a single USV or small survey vessel using multi-beam echosounder (including backscatter), LiDAR and/or camera, this software solution is priced at €1,998 annually, designed to be simple to configure and run.In addition, it provides advanced hydrographic survey features from NaviSuite Kuda software, for example enabling autonomous operations, as it is one of several variants of this software bundle.Not only
Greensea Inks Deal with Ocean Infinity
Greensea signed a contract with Ocean Infinity to collaborate and develop the Armada Dynamic Payloads Control software suite on OPENSEA. “Greensea is excited to collaborate with Ocean Infinity on this pioneering technology,” said Ben Kinnaman, Greensea CEO. “Their plan is the most radical shakeup to the way work has been done on and under the sea since ROVs were developed. This type of paradigm shift can only happen when barriers are removed and multiple companies can collaborate. That’s what an open architecture platform, like OPENSEA, does. It removes barriers and
OceanWise Wins Contract to Monitor Tides at Port of Waterford
OceanWise won a contract with the Port of Waterford to help consolidate, manage and better share environmental data collected by a diverse range of environmental sensors across their port jurisdiction.The Port of Waterford operates 24/7/365, and is an estuary where channel depths can vary with tidal height significantly affecting safe vessel passage. OceanWise will support operations by installing the data management system Port-Log, allowing Waterford pilots and port operators access to real-time data with personalized alerts which closely monitor the ever changing tide and environmental conditions
Cambridge Pixel Announces Dual Redundant Radar Tracking
for dual redundant radar tracking is designed for developers of high reliability or remote systems such as in maritime and coastal surveillance applications where multiple radars are located along a coastline and may be unmanned and highly inaccessible.Cambridge Pixel's SPx radar tracker is a software-based COTS primary radar data extractor and target tracker that provides target track identification, course and speed. It is fully parameterized, highly configurable and supports multi-hypothesis tracking to improve tracking efficiency and reduce nuisance alarms, as well as modelling algorithms
SMA Selects Teledyne CARIS
Administration (SMA) has selected Teledyne CARIS to provide tools for generalization of bathymetric data in nautical charts.Through a competitive tender process, SMA has chosen Teledyne CARIS to provide CARIS BASE Editor as the solution for the generalization of bathymetric data in nautical charts. The software platform will provide the tools needed to generate contours and sounding selections using automated processes as much as possible.The addition of CARIS BASE Editor to SMA complements the existing CARIS HPD system already in place from a previous project. HPD is used for the management of spatial
