Gemini Profi ling

Sonars for STR

Tritech announced the sale of multiple

Gemini 620pd multibeam profi ling so- nars to Subsea Technology and Rentals (STR), Great Yarmouth. The sales of

Gemini 620pd, technology for subsea profi ling operations, follow on from the introduction of the Gemini Narrow

Beam Imager (NBI) to the company’s multibeam range.

STR, which has recently refocused its business, already offers a suite of Tri- tech industry-standard sensors and so- nar for rental. This latest purchase will augment its rental pool and further sup- port customer requests for a multibeam bathymetric profi ling tool, Tritech said.

Tritech’s Gemini 620pd profi ling sonar operates at 620 kHz and is able to pro- vide 10mm range results with an angular resolution of 0.5°. The Gemini 620pd can be confi gured as a single-head sys- tem, or set up as in a dual-head mode for accurate pipeline profi ling utilizing the

Gemini Hub for accurate synchronisa- tion while processing. www.tritech.co.uk

Rowe Adds new DVL to its SeaPILOT Line

Rowe Technologies launched a new

Doppler Velocity Log (DVL) for the

SeaPILOT product line. The SeaPILOT

OC (Observation Class) is the result of collaboration with several small ROV manufacturers to provide a compact, high performance DVL, designed spe- cifi cally for observation/inspection class

ROVs. The OC is small (5-in. [127mm] wide x 6-in. [152mm] tall and 8-in. [203mm] ), lightweight (~1 lb [0.45 Kg] in water), is rated for 300m operating depths, and is available in 1,200KHz and 600KHz operating frequencies. To ease integration, the OC supports sev- eral input and output data formats and is compatible with a number of third-party control and navigation software pack- ages. www.rowetechinc.com
