Teledyne Marine has delivered a Gavia Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) to SEA360, a subsidiary of the Sea Vorian Group, enhancing their ability to conduct advanced geophysical surveys, subsea infrastructure inspections, and environmental monitoring at depths of up to 1,000 meters.
The Autonomous Underwater Vehicle is equipped with cutting-edge technologies designed for high-performance operations. Notable features include the EdgeTech 2205 sonar, which incorporates bathymetric and gap-filling modules, the EXail PHINS C3 Inertial Navigation System (INS), and USBL modules. These capabilities will enable SEA360 to carry out comprehensive geophysical surveys, underwater inspections, and environmental monitoring at depths of up to 1,000 meters.
Valentin Hann, Senior Director of Sales – Marine Vehicles, EMEA, said, “We are very excited to add one of our Gavia AUVs to the SEA360 fleet. Not only will this investment add to SEA360 ’s operational capacity, but it will also allow them to expand their geophysical surveying and infrastructure inspection services to meet the growing needs of the underwater commercial market.”
Simon Ichstchenko, Marine Service Manager, added, “This acquisition of the GAVIA marks a significant step forward in enhancing our operational capabilities. With its cutting-edge technology and unparalleled efficiency, the GAVIA will enable us to conduct maritime missions with greater precision, safety, and sustainability. We are proud to integrate such an innovative solution into our fleet, reaffirming our commitment to excellence and innovation in maritime operations.”
This acquisition supports Sea Vorian’s broader vision to establish SEA360 as a leader in European commercial underwater surveying services. By integrating advanced autonomous systems, SEA360 is driving the future of unmanned technologies in ocean surveying and inspection.
