NextGeo selected PanGeo SBI for further survey on Hollandse Kust West Beta (HKWb) routes for TenneT TSO

Following the completion of a successful route survey campaign performed on Hollandse Kust West Beta (HKWb) last year, NextGeo has selected PanGeo Subsea (a Kraken Robotics Company) to provide its SBI to conduct a detailed survey around the Baloeran wreck close to cable routes to provide a clearer picture of subsea conditions underneath the seabed level.

NextGeo CEO Giovanni Ranieri commented, “The relationship between NextGeo and PanGeo is just at the beginning, but this represents a key milestone for both companies with multiple potential developments in the current energy transition market.”

Applying state-of-the-art beamforming synthetic aperture sonar arrays that provide a real-time 3D view of the sub-seabed, PanGeo’s SBI gathers highly accurate and usable data and has a proven track record in cables and UXO detection. The SBI has been installed on Ievoli Ivory’s WROV to ensure a maximised coverage of the targeted area characterised by strong currents, shallow water depth and very low visibility.
