Donation of multibeam technology and support strengthens hydrographic research capabilities of university’s new dedicated survey vessel
Marine survey technology specialist Subsea Europe Services GmbH has pledged to support HafenCity University in training a new generation of expert marine hydrographers by ensuring availability of the latest hydroacoustic technology aboard the new survey boat DVocean.
Based in Hamburg, HafenCity University is the only facility in Germany certified to the highest standards of training for marine surveyors. Its hydrography program was modernized in 2016 and subsequently examined by the International Board on Standards of Competence for Hydrographic Surveyors and Nautical Cartographers of the International Federation of Surveyors (FIG), the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) and the International Cartographic Association (ICA), and accredited according to the “Standards of Competence of Hydrographic Surveyors” at Category A.
