The vessel sank while transporting 260,000t of iron ore from Brazil to China in March 2017.

Ocean Infinity will mobilise its current fleet of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) for the search operations.

The AUVs can operate in water depths between 5m and 6,000m, while they can function without being connected to the vessel during operations. The feature allows the AUVs to go deeper and collect higher quality data for a search operation.

“The AUVs can operate in water depths between 5m and 6,000m, while they can function without being connected to the vessel during operations.”

The AUVs integrate a side-scan sonar, a multi-beam echo-sounder, a sub-bottom profiler, a high-definition (HD) camera, a conductivity/temperature/depth sensor, and other solutions.

Norwegian firm Optimarin has been selected by Royal Caribbean International to deliver ballast water treatment (BWT) systems for three of its cruise ships.

Two of the Royal Caribbean ships, Independence of the Seas and Mariner of the Seas have already been installed with Optimarin’s United States Coast Guard (USCG) compliant optimarin ballast system (OBS). The third vessel in class, Grandeur of the Seas, will be retrofitted with Optimarin’s BWT system in the first quarter of this year.

The modular nature of the OBS allows it to be installed and retrofitted on any vessel type. The system uses a combination of automatic back-flushing, self-cleaning filters, and ultraviolet (UV) irradiation to neutralise all potentially invasive species in the water.
