Frequently asked questions

USBL or LBL — which one does my project need?

USBL uses a vessel-mounted transceiver: fast to mobilize and ideal for ROV and towfish tracking, rig moves and diving support. LBL deploys a seabed transponder array and delivers the highest local accuracy for construction and metrology. We size the system to the required scope and accuracy.

What does rig-move positioning include?

Positioning of the jack-up or semi-submersible rig throughout the move and its final approach to the target location, including tug positioning.

Do you sell or rent positioning equipment?

Yes. We are an authorized Sonardyne reseller in Mexico: local sales, rental and technical support for USBL systems, transponders and the Lodestar line — and we also run the full service with our own personnel.
