C-MAX Ltd, a premier marine survey equipment supplier, remains at the forefront of innovation within hydrography with recent product offerings tailored for advanced underwater data collection.
Launch of Portable Underway Profiling Winch
Vigo, the industry's first portable underway profiling winch, was recently introduced by the company and officially made available. This device provides real-time profiling during vessel transit without the need for dedicated survey stops, making this device ideal for marine surveyors; supporting CTD sensors, current meters and other profiling tools as well as offering compact portability and deployment ease on smaller vessels.
Vigo winch provides reliable depth control up to 300 meters. Its lightweight construction weighs under 50kg, facilitating integration into routine surveys by offshore energy, port authorities and research institutions for increased operational efficiency.
Hydrodynamic Wing Depressor
C-MAX Ltd also introduced a hydrodynamic wing depressor specifically tailored for their CM2 digital sidescan sonar system, using its towfish configuration for stable depth control and improved sonar performance in various sea states.
This accessory enhances towfish stability by reducing motion artifacts and enabling higher-resolution imaging at greater depths. Survey professionals benefit from extended operational windows in challenging environments like coastal zones and deep-water searches.
C-MAX Ltd's latest developments exemplify their dedication to equipping maritime industry with tools that streamline data acquisition while prioritizing safety and precision. As hydrographic demands increase with offshore wind expansion and seabed mapping initiatives, such innovations put C-MAX Ltd at the forefront of marine technology advances.
