Echoscope Availability in Europe and Asia

Whilst Nautikaris has an immediate requirement for the Echoscope, with a contract for Fugro, the 3D real-time sonar system will become a prominent feature in the company's equipment portfolio. Confident of strong demand for the 3D visualisation provided by the Echoscope, Nautikaris is now able to offer a completely new service to its customers, especially those in the dredging, hydrographic survey and harbour authority sectors.

Evaluation of the Echoscope included two 2-week trials in the port of IJmuiden and in the province of Zeeland (Netherlands), large parts of which lie below sea level. The trials were organised by Rijkswaterstaat, the Dutch national water management agency, and involved many key industry members including representatives from Fugro. The Echoscope was deployed to survey dams and canals, to locate wrecks and to visualise complex underwater structures and materials.
