US Department signs contract for seven new multibeam sonar systems
The US National Ocean Service (NOS) has ordered seven new SeaBat multibeam sonar systems for hydrographic and research applications from RESON.
NOS is a division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA), which studies the conditions of the oceans and the atmosphere. The agency is to use the new sonar systems to continue their mission of coastal and international charting. Six of the SeaBat sonar systems are to be mounted on Hydrographic Survey Launches of the SV Rainier, SV Fairweather, SV Thomas Jefferson and SV Ferdinand R. Hassler while the seventh system will be mounted on the SV Nancy Foster.
 
Intermodal transportation: The next wave?
 Holidays are almost over, for those lucky enough to go on vacation. I spent my time away from the sea, and well above sea level. Just for reassurance. As you might know, the majority of Dutch grounds are below sea level (about 65%), and we keep dry feet by pumping water. Without that, we would build our sandcastle around "Amersfoort at the Sea" (a city some 80km inland).
However, spending time in the Alps, some 800m above sea level, my rectangular box driven mind did not come to a complete standstill, wondering about hinterland transportation.
