A second vessel, Coastal Sounder, has additionally been chartered for a series of long-term projects around the UK coastline on behalf of the Environment Agency.

Meanwhile, sister company Gardline Geosurvey has developed a new-generation integrated survey suite designed for PC Windows operation.

It can be deployed in any configuration, from compact laptops aboard small boats to sophisticated server-based installations for access by a number of users. Capabilities include survey planning and data acquisition, charting and data export with additional functionality for multibeam processing software.

Both companies are subsidiaries of Great Yarmouthbased Gardline Marine Sciences, which claims to be the world's largest independently-owned marine geophysical, geotechnical, hydrographic and environmental survey organisation.
