Woodinville, WA- 8 May 2012
-- WESMAR, the leading US manufacturer of sonar systems, today
announced they have completed the installation of their high-definition, long-range sonar on the 164-foot
arctic expedition ship
M/V QUEST
. Managed by International Shipping Partners, the
QUEST
joins a number
of vessels that have already installed WESMAR's a
dvanced technology searchlight sonar for navigational
capability and safety.
WESMAR's new sonar system, which is designed for cruise ships and excursion vessels such as
M/V
QUEST,
offers unmatched navigational and security aid, in both shallow and open water. With the ability to
scan a full 360 degrees around the vessel as well as profile the bottom underneath the ship, the WESMAR
sonar offers unparalleled protection. The system provides the ability to navigate safely into unfamiliar
harbors and while cruising. Reefs, rocks, icebergs and other potential hazards such as lost shipping
containers can be detected and avoided.
The
M/V QUEST
expedition vessel voyages to Scotland, Iceland, Greenland and islands in the north of
Norway, home to polar bears, walruses and ever-changing ice formations. The journey into these Arctic
islands begins by sailing out through the spectacular Ice Fjord and, with the installation of WESMAR's
sonar,
M/V QUEST's
passengers can now enjoy nature's beauty with added confidence and comfort as they
cruise.
