IHO Multibeam Listing

The International Hydrographic Organization in Monaco has published a complete listing of seafloor swathe-mapping systems in service worldwide.

The new service, says the UKHO, will fundamentally change the way ENC’s are sold by replacing current large, medium and small cell sizes with new standardised units.

Compiled by Five Oceans Consultants of Alexandria, Virginia USA, the 17 page document cites countries, vessel names, operators, system designations and their year of commissioning. It can be viewed for free via the IHO’s website www. iho. shom. fr
