Seatronics, marine electronic equipment provider, has announced its investment in iXblue’s RAMSES system
RAMSES is an acoustic synthetic baseline positioning system with self-contained computing for subsea navigation. The software allows for simple real-time sparse array navigation, an ideal solution for the highest precision navigation with smooth and drift-free positioning.
According to the company, RAMSES is a calibration-free, all-in-one system with real-time position computation and decimetre range measurement accuracy. Requiring no top-side and no umbilical, the unit allows quick and easy deployment in new or existing fields, with iXblue or third-party transponders, reducing operational costs.
Seatronics managing director Phil Middleton stated, “We are delighted to have completed the purchase of these systems adding to what is already the largest available fleet of iXblue assets within the rental market.
“The systems will initially be supplied as part of an integrated solution to a leading subsea contractor in the Gulf of Mexico.”
iXblue Houston regional sales manager Jeremy Stuhr commented, “We are excited to see Seatronics engagement with the Gulf of Mexico market increasing requirements for cost and time savings during subsea operations.”
He added that a leading subsea contractor in the Gulf of Mexico will yield massive savings to subsea operations offshore that can be accredited to RAMSES integration and flexibility as a solution during their operations.
Seatronics has taken delivery of the systems and is to assist its clients around the world with immediate and simple mobilisations.
