New hydro survey vessel launched

Titan Discovery is fully equipped to conduct hydrographic, oceanographic and environmental surveys at up to 60 nautical miles out which makes the vessel particularly well suited for surveying in nearshore, estuarine and intertidal environments.

Titan said that the new vessel will enhance and strengthen the capabilities of its survey fleet increasing the number of operating coastal vessels to five.

It’s already on route to the south coast of England where it is scheduled to conduct an aggregate dredge monitoring survey.

The GRP Laminates designed build was delayed back in November 2012 due to the Cowes based company going bankrupt. But the half build was then road transited to Great Yarmouth where Alicat Workboats resumed construction.

Titan Environmental Surveys Ltd offers a wide range of multi-disciplinary geophysical, hydrographic and oceanographic surveys and has completed several contracts involving cable route, habitat mapping and scour surveys for the offshore wind sector.

The company has also worked in the nuclear energy sector around the UK, conducting a number of thermal plume mapping and synoptic mapping of tidal currents. And it has vast experience of water quality and seabed contamination investigations during dredge activities for ports and harbours and numerous sediment plume surveys during trenching operations.
