Overview

• In recent years, offshore operations have moved farther offshore, often into challenging operational environments. Variable local current and tide patterns make for increased risk, uncertainty, and operational costs. Subsea operations can be limited by these challenges without real-time knowledge of currents.

  Using our renowned Signature ADCP technology, the VM Operations is designed to give offshore operators clear and detailed information on current speed and direction from the vessel to the seafloor. This situational awareness improves efficiency during vessel time. Data can be stored and analyzed during future project planning.

Highlights

• Concave transducer design allowing for flush mounting, independent of salinity changes
• A 333 kHz frequency for an optimal balance in required range, resolution and accuracy for a wide range of operations at the coastal continental shelf
• Outstanding bottom-track performance, even under challenging conditions
• Robust sea valve allows mounting without increased draft
• In-water serviceable, diverless, concept via the DNV type-approved sea valve
• Unique, easy-to-use graphical ADCP interface for the operator, superintendent or client
