Buyers Guide Hydrography is booming – survey companies, data specialists, hydrographers, cartographers, oceanographers… they are all working hard to get the job done. And they need to invest for an improved handling of their clients requests. Time is scarce… that’s why Hydro INTERNATIONAL is preparing a Buyer’s Guide to facilitate communication between you and your clients. The Buyer’s Guide features Company Profiles, Contact Details and an online directory with a categorised overview of suppliers. The Buyer’s Guide is distributed among subscribers of Hydro INTERNATIONAL, visitors to international trade shows throughout the year and is available from www.hydro-international.com/ buyersguide – thus it is a valuable information source to consult regularly throughout the year. For further information, please contact herma.lenten@ geomares.nl New Hydrography Durk Haarsma durk.haarsma@geomares.nl We might be on the brink of a new era in hydrography. In the future, hydrography will be used as underlying technique to support many new fields, such as offshore energy in wind parks, deep sea exploration for minerals and oil & gas and tourism as well as the traditional one of finding new shipping routes and optimising old ones. Both will become equally important pillars supporting the business of hydrography. In addition, another major change could be that an increasing amount of work is done from behind desks rather than at sea– analysing, managing, processing, linking and interpreting datasets –with datasets also coming from adjacent fields. The men – and women – working from behind these desks may receive a majority of those datasets from flying colleagues, rather than seafaring colleagues. Airborne bathymetry will develop into a serious competitor for nearshore surveying (and nearshore will become bigger and bigger while airborne hydrography will be able to go deeper and deeper). It needs to be recognised that governments are cutting back – so budgets are under strain. It’s no longer as easy to get the job that will make your year into a super year rather than one that is just good or average. Compared to a few years ago, you need to run twice as fast to get the job, but the new techniques all imply more efficiency, thereby saving time and money for the bidder. So embracing these techniques, makes you a frontrunner and respected by those issuing new projects. With the new pillars identified as main drivers for hydrography in the future, there is also a lot more work ahead. So despite the trends in the economy as a result of the crisis, it must be possible to do well. It’s probably too early to say, but maybe we will look back on 2012 as the last year of traditional hydrography. Maybe, we’ll remember this as the time when our profession really changed dramatically. Maybe in the future we’ll say to each other: ‘2013 was the first year of the new hydrography!’ Paid Subscription Hydro INTERNATIONAL is available bi-monthly on a subscription basis.

AML is best known for its X•Series family of instrumentation. Using the X•Series with Xchange field-swappable sensors, your CTD can become an SVTP, shallow pressure sensors can be swapped for deep, and temperature range can be extended or tightened as needed. All X•Series instruments share a common architecture, so any sensor-head can be attached to any instrument, regardless of size or type: real-time probe, vertical profi ler, or in-situ logger. Th is complete flexibility ensures that the right instrument is always available. The X•Series real-time instruments – Micro•X, Smart•X, Metrec•X, and bathyMetrec•X – can be utilised in small sea-chest applications, hull mount applications, AUV and ROV integration, and high accuracy depth measurement. The logging instrument Minos•X is a small vertical profi ler, ideal where portability is required for work in confined spaces like small launches or boats. The Plus•X is a full-sized multi-parameter logging instrument ideal for profi ling or in-situ studies. All of these instruments are compatible with the Xchange field-swappable sensorheads: SV•Xchange, C•Xchange, P•Xchange, T•Xchange, and Turbidity•Xchange.

Located in the US and a subsidiary of Kongsberg Maritime, Hydroid, Inc. is a trusted science and technology leader in the field of advanced Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs). The company designs, manufactures and markets state of the art AUVs for use in marine research, defence, hydrographic, offshore energy markets, harbour security, environmental monitoring, fishery operations and search and salvage missions. Together, Hydroid’s REMUS and Kongsberg’s HUGIN AUVs represent the most advanced, diversified and field-proven family of AUVs and AUV support systems in the world. REMUS AUVs can glide along the surface, dive to depths of 6,000 metres, explore shallow waters or hover in hazardous areas where navigation is difficult. These unmanned, undersea robots have reduced the high costs of ocean exploration and sampling while increasing the availability, quality and quantity of scientific marine data. REMUS AUVs involved with undersea mine reconnaissance have helped save lives by eliminating human divers from mine fields, and the customisable vehicles have helped solve plane and ship disaster mysteries (including locating wreckages such as Air France Flight 447 and generating 3D mapping of the Titanic). REMUS AUVs also offer scientists a new view on pressing global issues including climate change, the world’s declining fish population and environmental disasters. Developed by a veteran team of engineers, the innovations of Hydroid and Kongsberg Maritime provide a safe and reliable answer to the challenges that have hampered ocean exploration and security. The company offers world-class engineering design and expert manufacturing facilities for producing state of the art undersea robots, and is dedicated to revolutionising undersea robotics technology as well as advancing oceanography and undersea engineering.

We currently have two products: Inchart and Inscape. Inchart is an alignment chart add-in for AutoCAD and Inscape is a comprehensive 3D seabed modelling framework. Our first product, Inchart, is for the production of a large series of highquality alignment charts. Its simple user interface allows all chart parameters and formatting to be set at the initial planning stage and it’s highly customisable data import functionality allows data to be read in almost any format. Once an Inchart project has been created, unlimited numbers of charts can then be quickly generated with the same formatting simply by changing the data sources. A key feature of Inchart is that it maintains lists of survey data internally in the actual chart DWGs themselves making it very easy to add / remove or regenerate parts of charts at any time without adverse side effects. A fully functional evaluation version of Inchart may be downloaded from our website. Our second product, Inscape, is a multi-function 3D seabed modelling program which allows huge (multiterabyte) areas of seabed to be visualised as either Point-Clouds or digital terrain models. A key feature is intelligent pipeline / flag digitisation directly from Point Clouds. Inscape is expected to be released in late 2013.

The main product line is the SES-2000 series of mobile parametric sub-bottom profi lers with echo sounder functionality for shallow (water depth from less than 1m to 500m) and deep waters (up to full ocean depth). Transmission of short focused sound pulses at high ping rates (up to 60pps) gives an outstanding horizontal and layer resolution. Using parametric sound generation, the high-frequency channel is used as single beam echo sounder to get an accurate bottom track while the low-frequency channel is used to get detailed sub-seabed information. All channels are recorded digitally, but analogue outputs are available as well. The narrow-beam SES-2000 sub-bottom profilers are perfectly suited for exploring the sub-seafloor at high resolution with a sediment penetration of up to 150m. Applications include the detection of fluid mud layers and sediment structures for dredging and geological surveys as well as searching embedded objects like pipelines or archaeological artefacts. Centre frequency and bandwidth (pulse length) can be adjusted over a wide range according to the application using a user-friendly data acquisition and control software. For shallow waters combined SBP / side-scan systems are available. These models incorporate a narrowbeam parametric SBP (4-15kHz; 100kHz) and a dual-channel sidescan sonar (250, 410, 600kHz) for simultaneous operation. You can purchase or rent Innomar’s SES-2000 systems from Innomar or from more than 15 representatives around the world. Innomar’s quality management system has been certified according to ISO 9001 since January 2000.
