YATELEY, UK – C-Innovation (C-I) has chosen a suite of Sonardyne’s underwater positioning and navigation systems to support its operations offshore Brazil.
ROVs onboard six support vessels in the country will be equipped with Sonardyne inertial, gyrocompass, and Doppler technologies, as well as hybrid acoustic-inertial systems.
Specifically, C-I has ordered SPRINT inertial navigation systems, a Lodestar attitude and heading reference system, Syrinx Doppler velocity logs and the company’s hybrid acoustic-inertial underwater vehicle navigation instruments, SPRINT-Nav. C-I has also ordered a quantity of Sonardyne’s Compatt 6+ transponders and Wideband Sub-Mini 6+ transponder/responders for tracking structures and vehicles.
Most of the vessels (including Bongo, Santos Service, Joe Griffin, and Deborah Kay) will be working for Petrobras, and one vessel (Cabo Frio) will be working for Karoon Energy. The scope of work is subsea inspection, maintenance and repair operations and ROV support.
SPRINT-Nav combines the company’s SPRINT sensor, Syrinx 600 kHz DVL and a high accuracy intelligent pressure sensor packaged in a compact deep-rated housing.
