Kongsberg Supplied Multibeam System for Internal Waterway
With the recent running of the Neptune and CFloor training courses, Kongsberg Maritime Srl. in Italy has now completed the supply of a Hydrographic Multibeam System to Regional Public Company for the Inner Navigation (ARNI). The system includes EM 3000D, Seapath 200, Post processing Software Neptune/CFloor and full installation of the system on a new built Work Boat, performed by a technician from Kongsberg Maritime Srl. ARNI is located in Boretto (near Parma), on the bank of the river Po. With its length of 652 km the Po is the main Italian river and is navigable for 300 km, making it also the main Italian internal waterway. Having operated before now with singlebeam echosounders, the acquisition of this new multibeam system has allowed ARNI to make a remarkable quantum leap in the execution of its institutional activities, which consist in the continuous monitoring of the river, planning of dredging, maintenance of infrastructure and all the activities related to the safety of navigation.
