Seatronics Has Placed Order to Upgrade SeaBat
In November 2010, Seatronics placed an order for thirteen upgrades of their SeaBat 7125 ROV versions to the new SeaBat 7125 ROV2 version. Included in the order is also an upgrade of sixteen SeaBat 8125 systems that will be upgraded to the SeaBat 8125 Hybrid version. Besides the investment in high-end shallow and mid water range systems, Seatronics also focus on the low-end shallow water market.
When asked about the partnership with Reson, managing director of Seatronics David Currie says: “With Reson SeaBat systems in our portfolio, we are always certain that clients will find the right solution for their survey and reporting needs. Upgrading a huge part of the almost 50 Reson systems we own will be a good investment both for us but with-out doubt a leap in the right direction for our clients. The enhancements, especially in the software package, saves survey and processing time – essentially that is what it is all about, that our clients spend less time at sea and in their survey room and are certain that they are bringing back good reliable data.We are looking forward to these upgrades that we are sure will meet our clients expectations. The decision to upgrade was in line with our aim to provide the very latest in technology from the world’s leading manufacturers. Offering our customers the best service with the most up to date equipment. Reson are by far the leading manufacturer in portable multi beam systems used in the offshore industry. These new upgrades have a number of exciting features that will bring benefits to all users in terms of more beams, more data points on target, better quality data and faster processing”.
The upgrade to the SeaBat 7125 ROV2 multibeam system, will improve efficiency and usability for Seatronics customers. Especially the software package has been given full attention and the new SeaBat 7125 ROV2 comes with a new pipeline mode, which gives an increased number of hits on a pipeline and ensures exact data that improves the data post processing time considerably. An additional included feature is the possibility to have variable swath widths from 45 to 140 degrees. Customers with the need for high data density or increased along track density will benefit from Seatronics new investment. The new software version also allows for beam uncertainty quantification, which significantly will enhance the processing and reporting speed.
