Canadian Shipwreck Hunters Unleash New Tech
Unlocking new levels of multibeam performance with Norwegian Subsea MRUMotion Reference Units (MRUs) are crucial in bathymetric survey technology, providing precise motion compensation data to ensure reliable and accurate seafloor mapping. For users like Captain Sid Hynes, a seasoned mariner exploring Newfoundland’s shipwreck-rich waters, the Norwegian Subsea MRU has redefined what is possible, delivering exceptional performance even in incredibly challenging conditions.The ChallengeAlong with his son, Matthew, Sid Hynes has dedicated countless hours to mapping shipwrecks using multibeam echosound

I look forward to working with the talented team and channel partners to build on the company’s unrivalled legacy and drive its future success,” said Stone.GeoAcoustics’ portfolio of marine survey technology includes the GeoSwath bathymetric sonar, GeoPulse sub-bottom profiler, and Pulsar side scan sonar
Autonomous Survey Technology: Cutting the Umbilical
There is a flurry of development underway to cut seafloor seismic and geotechnical survey technologies free from on-site control.The deeper you go, the quieter the ocean becomes. It’s something that Kyrre Tjøm is exploiting in his back-to-basics approach to ocean bottom nodes (OBNs). Like his competitors, the CEO and Founder of iDROP, is developing autonomous OBNs that can deploy themselves on to the seabed without ROV support.The current method for laying the nodes, which catch reflected waves during seismic surveys, involves specialist vessels and specialist crews. It only takes one
