Ocean Business is set to take place from April 9-11, 2019 at the

National Oceanography Center in Southampton, UK. While the schedule is packed with social networking functions, exhibitions, in-water displays & conferences, the new technology on display is the star of the show. Following is a preview of some of the tech set for display at Ocean Business 2019 in Southampton bottom sonars, now including Jetasonic
