Marine environmental and geomatics services provider CSA Ocean Sciences (CSA) is teaming with GEO Marine Survey Systems to provide UHR seismic equipment and surveyors to the US offshore wind industry.
The equipment will be housed at CSA’s Rhode Island facility, which offers direct vessel access to the heart of the US renewable market.
CSA vice president and general manager Gordon Stevens said: “Having recently completed a successful 90-day campaign for a major offshore renewable energy company, during which this seismic equipment performed flawlessly aboard our newly outfitted R/V Dolphin, it made perfect sense to extend our partnership with GEO Marine to continue offering this bundle of cutting-edge technology to the Northeastern offshore industries.”
The equipment can be rented with an operator direct from GEO Marine and installed onto a vessel of opportunity or chartered with the R/V Dolphin.
On the latter, fit-for-purpose mounting and operational apparatus have been fabricated and are permanently installed for efficient mobilisation and operation.
Olivier Monrigal, operations manager for GEO Marine added: “Working with CSA and having the equipment in the US to support all projects not only helps mobilization costs for future projects, but also gives more companies exposure to our superior products.”
