To Chris Freeman, an ocean surveyor and cofounder of Geody-namics, Newport, N.C., the boat that carries his sonars and other tools of the trade is more than just a platform to transport him and his equipment. "We consider the boat as a precision survey instrument, purpose-built for the specific survey environment and then wrapped around the ideal sensors for a specific set of missions," he said in a statement. "This holistic approach to our vessel builds has proven successful time and again but requires a builder open to an uncompromised data-centric build." Geodynamics (an NV5 company) took delivery of its newest - and biggest - vessel, the 73'×26.7' Shack-leford from All American Marine, Bellingham, Wash., in April. The hydrofoil-assisted aluminum catamaran was designed by Teknicraft Design in New Zealand. |
