Short description
For future seismic investigations an area of 110 x 90 km had to be surveyed in decimetre resolution, using multibeam sonar, subbottom profiler, sidescan sonar and magnetometer including the appropriate navigation equipment. Potential obstacles had to be investigated for proper identification. The resulting data should be processed to create an accurate single GIS database for the entire Joint Venture Area. The project was started with concerted actions of 2 vessels. In the second project phase a single low draft survey vessel replaced the 2 vessels.
