EM 3002 Demonstration in North Vietnam
KM Singapore has conducted the first ever known shallow water multi-beam echosounder demonstration in North Vietnam. Equipment for the demo included the EM 3002 MBES, SIS visualization & acquisition software, Seapath 20 heading/ position solution and an MRU H Motion Sensor. The system was installed from scratch in an over-the-side mount configuration (including all fabrication and welding work) in just over 1 day on MSAC1's vessel, the Tien Sa. This duration was achieved due to the resourcefulness and dedication of MSAC1's experienced workforce who toiled late into the night to ensure all was ready for the demo. Being the first ever known MBES demo in North Vietnam, there was significant interest from many parties, including the prestigious Vietnam Navy, the Hai Phong Port Authority, as well as the Sea Survey and Mapping company (Seamap) who provide local expertise in hydrographic applications.
