ROPOS Deal for IXSEA

IXSEA has signed a deal with the Canadian Scientific Submersible Facility (CSSF) for a Global Acoustic Positioning System (GAPS), a number of transponders along with spare parts. GAPS is a calibration-free acoustic positioning system which combines inertial and acoustic technologies.
The CSSF is a nationally registered not-for-profit corporation. Established to manage and operate the Remotely Operated Platform for Ocean Science (ROPOS) system once the Department of Fisheries and Oceans could no longer fund underwater research vehicles, the CSSF successfully transferred the ROPOS Remotely Operated Vehicle operation from government to the private sector.
