Chinese order for Atlas Hydrographic

Bremen based Atlas Hydrographic in Germany is to supply China’s State Oceanographic Administration (SOA) in Xiamen with a Hydrosweep multibeam sounder with a depth capability of over 2,000m.

Delivery of the system with a quadruple multi-ping feature is scheduled for this March and will be followed by sea trials prior to beginning extensive hydrographic operations. Atlas says it is the third Hydrosweep system to be commissioned by Chinese survey organisations.
