International Submarine Engineering
Going Deep
Since its inception in 1974,
International Submarine Engineering
Ltd. (ISE) and its partners have placed a priority on innovation. While this priority has resulted in many new underwater products, it has also result- ed in new developments other areas.
These include an automotive refueling system developed for Shell Oil, a remote manipulator system developed for training astronauts on the
CanadaArm and technology to auto- mate operations in mines. Recently,
ISE has been working with Natural
Resources Canada to obtain arctic seabed data for Canada’s claim to the
United Nations Commission on the
Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). This proj- ect has fostered the development of a number of innovative products includ- ing the “Catchy” system developed in partnership with Memorial University of Newfoundland. Catchy enables an underwater submersible to be cap- tured, held in place, recharged and refreshed with new mission plans. The
Catchy has been a fundamental tool in the operation of these vehicles in our arctic since 2009. www.ise.bc.ca (Photo Cr edit: International Submarine Engineering)
