SeaBeam has also recently been awarded a contract from the Japan Marine Science & Technology Center (JAMSTEC), Yokosuka, Japan, for its SeaBeam 2100 Series multibeam bathymetric survey sonar.

Over 27 days, using advanced multibeam sonar, Ran mapped more than 1,000 kilometers of the ice shelf’s underside, uncovering features like ridges, valleys and swirls that had never been seen before.
