Tender description
The Scottish Ministers invites bids for the purchase of a 600m umbilical cablefor TV sledge and cable assembly.The cable is to replace damaged cables required for underwater survey of the seabed. We use these in conjunction with our monitoring partners. The use of hybrid poly cables allows us to use state of the art fibre optic underwater television equipment to provide HD footage in real time on both our research vessels. Our current cameras record HD footage within the underwater water housing. The downloading of the images is a time consuming function which uses up valuable survey time. The new fibre optic systems record real time data at the surface and doesn’t require stopping operations to allow our engineers to download the saved data. On a two week cruise this could give you an extra day of survey time.
