Photo Kongsberg: Delivery to include first 0.5º x 1º version of EM 122 multibeam |
The contract, an open tender won amongst tough competition, covers all hydro acoustic aspects of the new build survey vessel 'Tiefsee Forschungs Schiff' (TFS), which has been commissioned to replace the old RV 'Sonne', the current vessel being shared by the same group of German universities.
The EM 122 is a field proven and reputable deepwater echo sounder that offers increased performance in the 0.5º x 1º
configuration, providing a larger swath width and higher resolution. The Kongsberg Maritime delivery includes also a state-of-the-art K-Pos DP-11 dynamic positioning system which will be specifically configured for the unique hull shape and the specialized thruster layout to support the demanding hydrographic operations.
Owned by the German Ministry of Research, TFS is being built by Meyer Werft in Papenburg and will be operated by RF Forschungsschiffahrt GmbH in Bremerhaven. The vessel will be used for multi-discipline research by the universities, which include the University of Bremen/Hamburg, IOW Rostock, BGR Hannover, IFM Geomar Kiel and several others.
