Sonardyne INS for Bibby Offshore
Aberdeen UK based subsea installation contractor Bibby Offshore has acquired two Sonardyne Sprint inertial navigation systems to support ROV operations carried out by its new offshore survey division, Bibby Remote Intervention (BRIL).
The Sprint system is an acoustically aided facility for subsea vehicles used to extend operational limits and efficiency of Ultra Short Baseline (USBL) and Long Baseline (LBL) positioning units while making optimal use of acoustic aiding data and other sensors such as Doppler velocity logs and pressure aids. BRIL plans to operate both systems in support of a variety of inspection, repair and maintenance surveys using its deep rated ROVs.
