Seatronics Asia Pacific Adds Kongsberg Mesotech’s M3 Multibeam
Seatronics, Singapore, has added a Kongsberg Mesotech M3 Sonar System to its Asia Pacific rental fleet. This is part of an ongoing investment by Seatronics in technology to support its global marine equipment rental fleet growth. It marks a significant improvement in Seatronics’ advanced sonar imaging and profiling capabilities.
The acquisition of the M3 Sonar System is in response to a series of successful trials. Offering multiple sonar functional capabilities in a single compact housing, the M3 Sonar is a multibeam system providing high-resolution and easy-to-interpret images by combining the rapid refresh rate of conventional multibeam sonar with image quality comparable to high-resolution scanning sonar. Exclusive to the M3 Sonar is a multimode function with four pre-defined operating modes (imaging, enhanced image quality, ROV navigation and profiling), enabling advanced application capability.
For bathymetric applications, the M3 Sonar can also be integrated with popular third-party survey data acquisition and post-processing software such as HYPACK, HYSWEEP and CARIS HIPs & SIPs. The system will expand customers’ operational boundaries, particularly in harsh water environments.
