Lovely dinner with colleagues from NORBIT Subsea and Seabed BV last night. We had the Dutch Indonesian classic Rijsttafel at a favourite spot in Amsterdam. Looking forward to Seabed Demo Days today and tomorrow!

For the past few years we've held a Celebration of Cultures and Flavours to celebrate the diverse group of people that make up #AMLOceanographic. AMLers come together to share recipes from home and compete for the prestigious AML MasterChef title. This year we had submissions from Brazil, Mexico, Malaysia, France, Italy, Colombia, Thailand, Jamaica, Slovakia, Iran and more! 🎊

Jeremy starts the week running at Seismic Asia Pacific conducting a pre check on one of our NORBIT Subsea iWBMSh STX before dispatched to our respected client. All our NORBIT Subsea assets are pre checked before dispatch ensuring any issues are indentifed and rectified before handover to client. #SeismicAPAC #NORBITSubsea #MBES #Hydrospatial

(le français suit) What a powerful hydrographic start for Arpentage PCB of Sainte-Marie (QC)! Just a few short days after taking ownership of their brand new R2Sonic 2020-V Plus last August, the crew was already on the water with multibeam expert, Mike Brissette, for field testing and training. Arpentage PCB was awarded three survey contracts in the Rimouski (QC) area, totalling approximately 30 square kilometres of shallow (0m-15m) coastal waters. In addition to their new system, they also equipped a second boat crew with a second 2020-V Plus to double their performance. Both crews worked the next 30 days and several nights to cover the areas, and fortunately, only faced a few days of bad weather where they concentrated on data processing. As if that was not a big enough undertaking, a week or two into the job, one of the crews took a day off to drive up to Montreal to assist one of Boatmen Montreal's clients locate a lost boat anchor that urgently needed to be recovered. For this operation, Arpentage PCB made use of R2Sonic’s Ultra High Frequency (UHR) 700kHz technical mode feature. With a bit of advice from veteran expert Mike Brissette (R2Sonic), the anchor location was identified and confirmed almost immediately. Congratulations to Arpentage PCB! —— Quel début remarquable en hydrographie pour Arpentage PCB de Sainte-Marie (QC) ! Quelques jours seulement après avoir reçu leur tout nouveau R2Sonic 2020-V Plus en août dernier, l'équipage était déjà sur l'eau avec l'expert en multifaisceau, Mike Brissette, pour des tests terrain et une formation. Arpentage PCB a remporté trois contrats de relevés hydrographiques dans la région de Rimouski (QC), totalisant environ 30 kilomètres carrés d'eaux côtières peu profondes (0 à 15 m). En plus de leur propre nouveau système, ils ont également équipé un deuxième bateau d'un deuxième 2020-V Plus afin de doubler leurs performances. Les deux équipes ont travaillé les 30 jours et plusieurs nuits suivants pour couvrir les zones et, heureusement, n'ont fait face qu'à quelques jours de mauvais temps où ils se sont concentrés sur le traitement des données. Comme si le défi n’était pas assez suffisent, une semaine ou deux après le début du travail, l'une des équipes a pris un jour de congé pour se rendre à Montréal afin d'aider l'un des clients de Boatmen Montréal à localiser une ancre de bateau perdue qui devait être récupérée de toute urgence. Pour cette opération, Arpentage PCB a utilisé la fonctionnalité Ultra Haute Fréquence (UHR) 700 kHz d’R2Sonic. Avec les conseils de l'expert chevronné Mike Brissette (R2Sonic), l'emplacement de l'ancre a été identifié et confirmé presque immédiatement. Félicitations à Arpentage PCB ! R2Sonic, SBG Systems, HYPACK, a Xylem Brand, AML Oceanographic Ltd., Hydrospatial Movement Club & Community

Lockheed Martin Corporation Acquires Two Moving Vessel Profilers (MVP300) As part of Canada’s National Shipbuilding Strategy (NSS), Irving Shipbuilding Inc. along with Lockheed Martin will be building and outfitting two Arctic and offshore patrol ships (AOPS) for the Canadian Coast Guard. These ships, Donjek Glacier and Sernilik Glacier, operate as the primary protection enforcement and conservation vessels on the east coast of Canada. For AOPS 7 & 8 #AMLOceanographic will proudly be supplying MVP300 systems to Lockheed Martin. The MVP300 is a self-contained profiling system capable of sampling the water column to depths of 300m from a vessel speed of 12 knots and deeper depths at slower speeds.  The system provides near vertical profiles for oceanographic data collection of Sound Velocity, Conductivity/Temperature/Depth (CTD), and other parameters for various operations including the calibration of multibeam sounder systems for hydrographic operations. Built in Canadian manufacturer AML Oceanographic’s Atlantic office in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, over 200 MVP systems have been supplied to organizations around the world seeking to reduce the technical and financial unpredictability of hydrographic and ocean science surveys. With over 50 years of oceanographic expertise, AML Oceanographic has a market reputation for  going to the ends of the earth to make our customers successful. #MovingVesselProfiler #AOPS

Currently, AMLers Leo and James are in New York. #AMLOceanographic is a sponsor of Norbit's Bathymetric Multibeam Operators Course. This week AML got to present on the importance of sound speed in multibeam surveys, the #MVP and the value in increasing the number of casts taken during survey operations. Leo was also lucky enough to take part in some demonstrations. Thank you NORBIT Subsea for having us!

This past weekend was a big one for our team. For the first time - ever - all AMLers were together, in person! Some of you may remember we celebrated our 50th at #OceanologyInternational with our wider community this year.. well this weekend was dedicated to celebrating with the team. As we often say, it's truly the people that make AML. All together in the office this week, AMLers saw presentations on the history of #AML from COO Chris Bueley and the future of AML (hint, it's big!) from CEO Robert Haydock. On Thursday night Robert hosted the crew at his house for a dinner party. On Friday, AMLers enjoyed a boat cruise around the Inner-Harbour in Victoria, BC. Moments like this are so special for a team with distributed workplaces like ours. Cheers to a weekend of festivities and cheers to the next 50 years! #AMLis50

Notre partenaire AML Oceanographic Ltd. fournit des MVP (Moving Vessel Profileur). Il s’agit d’un treuil permettant de faire des profils de célérité ou de mesures physico-chimiques sans pour autant arrêter la marche en avant du navire. L’algorithme de gestion de la descente de la sonde assure un profil vertical en fonction de la vitesse du bateau. Les profils peuvent être lancés de façon automatisée. Si les MVP d’AML sont fait pour de gros porteurs, notre partenaire C-MAX propose un modèle pour de plus petite embarcation. Il s’agit du #VIGO. N’hésitez pas à nous contacter pour en savoir plus sur cet outil qui vous fera gagner du temps lors de vos campagnes. #Océanographie #TechnologieMaritime #MesuresPhysicoChimiques #InnovationMaritime #SciencesDeLaMer
