Vessels
We own small craft for limited access single beam surveys – a Sunbeam kayak and a Pioner 10, 3m lightweight dinghy. The Pioner, CE Cat D, is also suitable for inshore single beam and sidescan work in good to moderate weather.
For inshore multi-beam surveys and deployment of sidescan, sub-bottom and mags we have our 6m survey launch, CE Cat C – with a fully enclosed cabin and room for four persons on board during survey operations.
For offshore work, we charter a 10.5m Cat 2 MCA coded vessel for 12 passengers and 2 crew with a 60 mile licence from any safe harbour.
We can generally mobilise at very short notice. The Pioner and Bella are trailerable and can be transported to site within 24 hours.
