MV SANTA MONICA 14 m SURVEY VESSEL
Locatech Services Sarl has developed light solutions for precise analogue shallow water survey (up to 1oom water depth) and Coastal studies.
The vessel is designed for inshore and high sea operation and can sail from its port of call to any port within the Gulf of Guinea.
The vessel can accommodate 4(four) surveyors and 4 crew member for 4(four) or S(five) consecutive days for offshore operations.
MV Santa Monica has 3.Sm x 2.3m retrievable and launchable platform that makes it ideal for:
- Oceanographic sampling
- Core sampling in shallow water area from 0 to 20m depth
- Deployment of towed sensors
The vessel can also be anchored and this allows deployment of divers.
There is provision of an A-frame for lifting and launching of heavy towed sensors.
INTERIOR
With 3.70m x 3.10m acquisition room 3 to 4 online acquisition engineers can work easily.
The working space contains 2 computers and recorders racks and 2 work bench port and starboard side of the acquisition room.
