SEAMEC Princess Upgrades to Sonardyne Ranger 2 Pro
SEAMEC, India, has chosen Sonardyne acoustic position reference technology to support its dynamic positioning operations. The company has upgraded the Ranger 1 system installed on the SEAMEC Princess to Sonardyne’s current generation USBL (Ultra-Short Baseline) platform, Ranger 2 Pro, the highest specification system available.
Ranger 2 builds on the simplicity and reliability of Sonardyne’s original Ranger system adding support for 6G (Sixth Generation) acoustic instruments and Wideband 2 signal architecture. These technologies deliver stable positioning for DP operations, low cost of ownership, faster subsea operations and hardware that is easier for users to set up and operate.
In its role as a DSV, maintaining a constant vessel position during subsea operations is a critical requirement for the SEAMEC Princess. As such, Ranger 2 Pro was specified for its ability to operate with a network of transponders deployed on the seabed that offer positioning redundancy in all operating conditions.
