Dolphin Geophysical Positioning Contract for Veripos

Norwegian exploration seismic contractor Dolphin Geophysical of Bergen has awarded Veripos a new three-year contract for provision of satellite positioning services aboard its fleet of specialist high-capacity vessels Artemis Arctic, Artemis Atlantic, Polar Duke and Polar Duchess. The services will also be extended to include Sanco Swift, a new 96-metre vessel due to be commissioned later this year.

All five vessels will use Veripos’s latest Apex2 and Ultra2 dual-beam Precise Point Positioning (PPP) services employing both GPS and Glonass constellations supported by an NTrip internet-based correction service. Associated onboard hardware for each vessel comprises triple Veripos LD6/LD2 modular receivers together with Verify QC processing software for real-time monitoring and control.
