? ve days before refueling. This speed/ range combination maximizes acquisition effectiveness while minimizing launch and recovery operations. As a force multiplier, it can operate concurrently alongside traditional survey vessels, dramatically increasing survey ef? ciency.

The C-Worker 5 uses a direct drive marine diesel propulsion system operated via

ASV’s proven ASView control system. The

C-Worker 5 integrates quickly and easily with a wide variety of payloads including hull mounted and towed sensors. The

ASView control system enables line plans from a variety of data acquisition systems to be uploaded for ef? cient data collec- tion. “The C-Worker 5 is an exciting new

ASV that will dramatically help our clients’ bottom line,” said Thomas Chance, ASV’s

Chairman. “The new vehicle also comple-

On its exhibition stand visi- plinary engineering, science and tech- tors are encouraged to take part in the nology consultancy will demonstrate its ‘d’ROP Challenge,’ to be in with a chance integrated approach to better understand- to win their own limited edition d’ROP and ing the operational complexities of the one of a kind Bibby Athena. To complete marine environment. Through a suite of the challenge, entrants will build their own d’ROP using colourful interlocking bricks from a popular unnamed toy brand.

If they complete the challenge within the speci? ed time, they take home their own d’ROP, and if they score the fastest time of the entire show they are awarded with a replica Bibby Athena.
