MMT Installs Kongsberg Multibeam System

MMT Group announced its new ownership of a Kongsberg EM2040D. A 0.4 x 0.7 degree dual head multibeam system has recently been installed on MMT’s long term charted multipurpose support vessel Stril Explorer.

This is a highly developed multibeam echo sounder that combines all of the advanced features of deepwater echo sounders to the shallower water or ROV/AUV environment. Such features include dual swath per ping to maintain a high survey speed at maintained resolution; FM chirp to achieve a much longer range capability; complete roll, pitch and yaw stabilization and near-field focusing both when transmitting and receiving.

By owning and operating an EM2040 dual head on Stril Explorer, MMT said it is further prepared to perform surveys that meet the IHO-S44 special order and fulfills the requirement for high resolution pipeline inspection.
