C-MAX Ltd Introduces Industry's First Portable Underwater Profiling Winch and Hydrodynamic Wing Depressor

C-MAX Ltd, a specialist in marine survey equipment, recently unveiled the industry's first portable underway profiling winch and introduced a hydrodynamic wing depressor for their CM2 digital sidescan sonar. Both innovations increase hydrographic survey capabilities for maritime professionals while their designs and applications in modern survey operations are highlighted further in detail.

C-MAX Ltd, a leader in marine survey and geophysical equipment, continues its innovative hydrographic product announcements with two noteworthy releases. These developments reflect C-MAX Ltd's dedication to developing portable yet efficient data collection solutions for maritime operations.

Industry's First Portable Underwater Profiling Winch

C-MAX Ltd recently unveiled their Vigo underway profiling winch as an industry first portable solution designed for underway operations, making this winch invaluable for hydrographic surveys, environmental monitoring and oceanographic research. This solution allows vessels to conduct continuous profiling while in motion; providing vessels a key advantage in hydrographic surveys, environmental monitoring and oceanographic research.

Vigo winches are designed specifically for use in dynamic maritime environments, providing real-time data acquisition without interfering with vessel progress. Their portable design facilitates easy integration across different survey vessels reducing setup times and providing greater operational flexibility for clients in offshore energy, port management, and research sectors.

New Hydrodynamic Wing Depressor for CM2 Sidescan Sonar

C-MAX Ltd announced their release of a hydrodynamic wing depressor designed specifically for use with their CM2 digital sidescan sonar. This depressor can help enhance stability and depth control during towing operations, further increasing stability and depth control capabilities.

This wing depressor enhances sonar performance by maintaining consistent towfish depth and minimizing drag, creating higher-quality imagery of the seabed. Suitable applications for this depressor include wreck detection, pipeline inspection and mapping purposes as well as providing maritime professionals with tools for safety assessments of infrastructures.

C-MAX Ltd stands out in hydrographic technology with this launch, meeting key challenges associated with portable and high-resolution marine surveying. C-MAX's innovations respond to rising needs for efficient data collection in relation to increasing offshore activities worldwide.
