Product Details
GET EXCEPTIONAL DATA IN ANY SEA STATE
A towed body which decouples ship movement from the towfish.
An improved towing system for sidescan systems, ensuring excellent data in virtually any sea state.
- Substantial cost savings are available when surveys are not weather dependent
- Time critical surveys are not postponed by weather conditions
- Survey operations have been conducted in up to Beaufort Force 9 conditions
- Ship motion is decoupled from the towfish
- Towfish stability is substantially improved in all sea states
- Data quality does not deteriorate as sea state increases
- Equipment damage is reduced as a slight positive buoyancy keeps the fish above the depressor
- Deployment and recovery simple and straight forward
- Available in shallow (<200m) and deep water (6000m) configurations
- Deployable from any size vessel
- Cable depressors available
