Atlas to supply the Royal Malaysian Navy

Cairns-based Atlas Hydrographic has confirmed its receipt of a contract to supply and install its “Hydrosweep” MD-2 30kHz multibeam echo sounder aboard the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) survey vessel, KD Mutiara.

The new equipment will provide the vessel with a depth surveying capability of 4,000m, and coverage of eight times water depth, and will be supported by Atlas’ Hydromap Online and Hydromap Offline data processing system.

Atlas Hydrographic has previously installed similar equipment aboard the RMN’s KD Pernatau, which will be joined in-service by the upgraded KD Mutiara in early 2004.
