iXBlue Delivers Sub-Bottom Profilers to SHOM
as they excel in these challenging environments: they are very compact and purpose-fitted for pole-mounted and hull-mounted installations. Seeking to extend its sub-bottom profiling capacity in coastal waters and on the continental shelf, SHOM was looking for cost-effective, compact and versatile equipment. They conducted an extensive evaluation of industry leading products, giving iXBlue an opportunity to demonstrate ECHOES capabilities. ECHOES 10000 was demonstrated onboard SHOM 7-meter coastal hydrographic vessel. Its compact design made the integration onboard easy, transducer fitted
