Bathymetry

Bathymetric surveys provide detailed information about our subsea world. With a 100kg payload capacity and large electrical power reserves, XOCEAN offers a robust platform for multibeam echo sounder surveys. Operating 24/7, we can deliver bathymetric data faster.

Our Platform

Proven ability to survey in shallow to medium water depths, meeting IHO S-44 standards.
Real time control of survey parameters from onshore control room.
Significant onboard computing capacity running industry standard data acquisition software.
Shallow water capability for inshore waters plus extended mission duration (18 days) for larger offshore areas.

Typical System Configuration

Flexible system integration, demonstrated with Norbit, Kongsberg, R2Sonic, EdgeTech plus others.
Typical configuration; Norbit iWBMS sonar with integrated Applanix POS MV Wavemaster II INS system for navigation and motion correction.
Automated deployment system with Valeport Swift SVP for sound velocity profile measurement.
