Nymphea Environnement has launched its Remote Survey Vehicle (RSV) into the Middle East market.
The RSV, a remote-controlled floating platform that conducts oceanography surveys and can assists in the detection and management of marine pollution.
The lightweight craft can support different air and underwater sensors and equipment for surveillance and measurement operations. This includes position sensors, sonar devices, communication systems and an autopilot with an anti-collision system.
According to the Nymphea Environnement Middle East manager, Michael Becker, the equipment can be packed and checked into a commercial flight, making the technology very accessible and can be deployed within 20 minutes. The RSV, which is electrically propelled, can operate for up to 12 hours depending on the equipment attached to it. The vessel can provide real-time data to an onshore or offshore center.
With over 90% of the materials used in its construction being recyclable, the RSV is a simple, affordable and non-polluting technology which can be used to map and provide surveillance of shallow waters typically inaccessible by larger vessels.
Nymphea Environnement is a French company with an office in Qatar, it is a member of Vinci Group and a subsidiary of Geocean (Entrepose Contracting Group), it develops technologies for oceanographic surveys, the prevention and management of pollution at sea, and the exploration and production of undersea freshwater springs.
