In addition, Imtech Marine will plan, supply and install drive components such as converters, electric motors for thrusters and the power management. Imtech will also supply navigation and communications systems including FleetBroadband, VSAT and GMDSS, X-and S-band radar, ECDIS, compass, GPS and VDR.
 
For the Western Geco seismic vessels, Imtech Marine’s responsibilities cover e-technology engineering, technical coordination, project management, supply and commissioning, including cable networks, internal and external communications and navigation.

Through various past projects in this area, we are well prepared for this task.”
