See It, Feel It31/03/2009 |
| At Ocean Business, you not only have to listen to the sales pitch of the exhibiting companies or to look at the brochures. There are plenty of opportunities to see the equipment in action, to see what they do and to compare their work in reality. You can book for vessel demos or trials in a test tank. |

Hydro International was invited to join Reson on Monday afternoon, before the opening of the show, to see the Reson sonars in action. Surveying the harbour of Southampton on board of Southampton's Port Management Protector, a few remarkable features were discovered that even the regular harbour surveyors did not discover before! In a short time, the mechanism of the various sonars, for bathymetry and forward-looking, was discovered. To demonstrate the high-tech roll compensation of the software, a low-tech rolling mechanism was put in place: a few heavy men walking from starboard to port vice versa. So if you are booking for a Reson demo, ask for the roll compensation feature during the sail!
Bookings for demos on the water are possible at stands of various suppliers.
