DMC Enhances Its ROV with BlueView Sonar

The Danish company DMC/Drechsler Marine Consult has invested in a BlueView sonar to one of their underwater robots which gives even better search options.

The sonar is a high performance 2D imaging sonar specially engineered for underwater tasks.

It operates while in motion delivering real-time imagery and data with quick updates which makes it possible to follow the movements of the ROV in the water.

“The new sonar operates at a viewing angle of 130 degrees and has a detection range of 100 m (328 ft.) and a 3 field-of-view options,” says the owner of DMC, Claus Drechsler.

DMC has among others specialized in searching and finding objects on the seabed using the ROV underwater robots and if it is required that the robot can be fitted with USBL Tracking System.

“We have several ROV units and a team of very experienced ROV pilots and therefore we are able to perform efficient and quickly when we get a job,” says Claus Drechsler.

The company has experience in serving energy companies and contractors during installation or supervision of offshore projects and also in managing various offshore projects.

UTC 2017

The subsea industry has, as all other parts of the oil & gas industry, been seriously rattled by the most severe downturn in the hydrocarbon energy era. However, the realization of what hit us and actions to be taken to sustain a healthy and profitable future is still on-going – unfortunately with thousands of colleagues paying the price by losing their job as one of the most severe consequences. At this time, there are signs that we have reached bottom in terms of most industry indicators, but few experts expect a sharp recovery. Many seem to believe that a slow recovery is what the industry needs in order to avoid an unsustainable capacity build-up, as seen in the period after the financial crisis. Considering the uncertainty of what the future will bring, this year’s UTC Program Committee have decided to challenge all of us to present ideas, experiences, technological innovations, business models and execution models for how to shape our subsea future and explain how and why subsea is the future.
UTC welcomes abstracts based on the topics listed below. If selected, please consider writing a paper in addition to the UTC presentation. From 2017, UTC papers will be published in an international database.
