DriX, the new iXblue unmanned survey vessel will slash survey costs for large survey projects. It is unique, and unlike any other design on the market today. Full details: http://survey.ixblue.com/how-ixblue-i...
The hull is nearly 8m long, only 80cm wide and the vessel achieves several days of non-stop endurance at average survey speeds of 10 knots.
The data quality obtained from the DriX Multibeam is gives us total confidence that we will be able to deliver our clients high data quality at higher rates of effort, with reduced cost.
DriX will be used for our first commercial survey in Q4 in 2018 to support the Pacific Regional Navigation Initiative (PRNI) Project, managed by Land Information New Zealand.
This project will deliver much needed modernized nautical charts for the waters in and around Tonga and will provide much safer navigation for all mariners for decades to come.
The team at iXblue Australia is excited and proud to be involved with this project and can’t wait to introduce DriX into the operations.
