Yuzhmorgeolocia Selects iXSea As their Solution Provider

The Russian state geological enterprise Yuzhmorgeologia (based in Gelendijk on the black sea) has selected iXSea as their solution provider for the precise positioning at 6,000m depth of its Ultra Deep Mak-1 side-scan sonar.
Yuzhmorgeologia is primarily engaged in geophysical oil and gas exploration. The first scheduled survey using the iXSea solution will take place in the Northern Pacific for a deep sea
survey of mineral resources.
Yuzhmorgeologia’s need for better accuracy of seafloor mapping at great depths required better positioning of the Ultra Deep Mak-1. The iXSea solution will allow precise positioning of the sonar towed by an 11,000m long cable and includes POSIDONIA USBL, OCTANS III attitude sensor, PHINS Inertial Navigation System and a number of OCEANO acoustic releases.
