Ports of Jersey Choose the Apogee-U

Multibeam System for Ports of Jersey

Ports of Jersey, UK, took delivery of a new Multibeam system from Swathe Services last week. The equipment, software and support package was chosen by Aaron Gavey, deputy Marine Operations manager, to enhance the organisation’s new commercial survey capability. (…)

Aaron and his team chose:

• the new SBG Systems Apogee-U Inertial Navigation System
• a Hemisphere R330 RTK base station and optional Atlas Link corrections
• Valeport MiniSVS and SWiFT sensors
• C4R Maritime Solutions provided a bespoke mounting bracket for their multi-role pilot/survey vessel
• HYPACK HYSWEEP module.
• Installation mount by C4R Maritime Solutions

The Swathe Services team successfully installed and trialled the equipment in Jersey. Aaron Gavey commented that Swathe Services provided a turn-key solution that met all aspects of the Port of Jersey’s operational requirements. There was a particular need to install on the existing multi-role pilot vessel and to take into account the large 12 metre tidal range.
