Deployment Considerations
Its compact footprint makes it suitable for vessels with limited deck space. The single-phase electric drive, variable speed control and chain-driven diamond screw level-wind mechanism support controlled cable handling during survey operations.
Equipment compatibility and deployment suitability should be assessed against line pull, cable specifications and vessel requirements.
