Scottish marine technology solution provider Nautronix has developed a solution to overcome the issue of "scintillation" (solar activity interference) for vessel station-keeping with a new application of its acoustic positioning system known as NASNet.
NAUTRONIX says an independent study carried out by Blade Offshore Services demonstrates that its innovative NASNet acoustic positioning system really does outperform other acoustic positioning systems. NASNet is established in the defence market, but is still finding its feet offshore- though recent applications on offshore developments such as Agbami and Frade by Subsea 7 and Acergy suggest it is coming of age.
Aberdeen company Nautronix has just delivered a NASNet acoustic positioning package to Wick in preparation for a pipeline bundle tow-out from Subsea 7's fabrication yard.
