摘要

The Swiss-based pipelay specialist Allseas Group S.A. has placed a major order with Sonardyne International Ltd, Yateley, UK, for the supply of its Wideband deepwater Long BaseLine acoustic positioning technology. The order includes two of the company's recently launched Lodestar AHRS (Attitude Heading and Reference System) units which makes Allseas the first commercial customer to benefit from this advanced new technology.rnThe complete order includes a substantial quantity of Sonardyne's latest Wideband Compatt 5 acoustic transponders and five Data Fusion Engines that will be used to undertake both LBL and Ultra-Short BaseLine (USBL) subsea positioning operations. The two Lodestar units ordered are the subsea variants and will be used to aid the high accuracy installation of structures on the seabed.
