Seatronics Orders New Saturn System from Teledyne TSS

Aberdeen-based global rental and marine technology supply company, Seatronics Ltd. placed an order with Teledyne TSS for 12 of the new Saturn 30 Subsea Attitude and Heading Reference Systems (AHRS) that were launched at Oceanology International in London. Seatronics has also taken options on a further 38-units, which takes the total projected purchase to 50 systems.

Commenting on his company’s choice of the Saturn system, David Currie, managing director of Seatronics, said, “We want to maintain our reputation for having the latest and most advanced products available for our customers to rent so the new Saturn technology was an obvious choice for us. We have great confidence in Teledyne TSS products and are already able to supply a wide range of them to our customers. When the Saturn was launched it was natural for us to add it to our inventory.”

The new Saturn systems are available in two versions with surface and subsea models for each. The Saturn 10 systems are designed to support the offshore construction, ROV, surface navigation and multibeam survey sectors where reliability, competitive pricing and performance are essential.

The Saturn 30 is designed as a solid-state attitude and heading reference system (AHRS) for primary surface and subsea navigation. It is a compact and highly reliable unit which makes it ideal for all sizes of vessel and especially for smaller craft such as fast ferries, yachts and small patrol craft where space is at a premium.

Saturn has been based upon state-of-the-art fiber-optic gyro technology that has been developed and manufactured by Teledyne TSS at its modern headquarters in Watford, UK. The Saturn product family also incorporates advanced digital signal processing and algorithm design to deliver a highly accurate and reliable product to meet the demanding needs of the marine and offshore market. All units are compact, lightweight in both air and water and provide a superior alternative to other products currently on the market.
