Survey Vessel for Archipelagos and Shallow Waters

With her length of 40 metres, it will be possible to cost-efficiently chart the seabed with exceptional precision at depths of 5-500 metres. The equipment is advanced and versatile to ensure precise surveying and highly dependable results.

When IceBeam is launched in June 2009 the Baltic Sea and the rest of the world's oceans will have access to a vessel featuring the latest surveying technology. The task of upgrading IceBeam to the topmost standard is lead by a team of six people from MMT AB.

The crew will consist of six people to control the vessel and an additional four to ten survey technicians, depending on the nature of the project, each specialised in his or her own specific area. IceBeam is dimensioned for expeditions of up to four to six weeks. Five single cabins, seven double cabins, a messroom and a laundry as well as a gym will all be at the disposal of the crew on board. Navigation and positioning systems aid IceBeam's work, together with an ROV, sampling equipment, cameras and gradiometers make it possible to chart the seabed with considerable precision in shallow waters.
