TenneT commissioned FreeStar to carry out a 4K ultra-high-definition video survey to carry out a depth of cable burial survey. For this project, Seekable introduced its new electro-magnetometer-based survey system to determine cable positioning and burial depth.<\/p>\n<p>Operating in water depths of around five meters, FreeStar deployed its ROV inspection capabilities from the Navicula Star while simultaneously hosting additional survey technologies from specialist partners.<\/p>\n<p>The campaign brought together three different cable detection and inspection methods on a single vessel. Alongside the ROV services of Vriezoo ROV Services, the project incorporated advanced sensing systems from MAPPEM and Seekable.<\/p>\n<p>MAPPEM deployed both a mobile passive system and a seabed-based station capable of measuring extremely small electric and magnetic fields generated by HVDC cables.<\/p>\n<p>Seekable deployed its new electro magnetometer cable tracking system to determine cable location and burial depth. Using a model based analytical approach, the Seekable\u202fTN 1 accurately predicts cable position even when the sensors are offset from the cable\u2019s actual alignment.<\/p>\n<p>Designed for offshore and nearshore environments, the TN 1 integrates high resolution magnetic field measurements with advanced data modelling to deliver precise, real time tracking results. This capability enables faster and safer cable route surveys, reducing vessel time and operational costs.<\/p>\n<p>By combining these techniques, the project stakeholders were able to collect complementary datasets while operating&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinetechnologynews.com\/news\/freestar-delivers-rapid-multi-659990\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Freestar Delivers Rapid Multi-Technology Cable Survey https:\/\/www.marinetechnologynews.com\/news\/freestar-delivers-rapid-multi-659990 Publish Date: 2026-03-12 19:16:00 Source Domain: www.marinetechnologynews.com FreeStar&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":222962,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/images.marinetechnologynews.com\/images\/maritime\/w800\/source-freestar-168889.jpeg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-222961","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222961"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=222961"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222961\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":222963,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222961\/revisions\/222963"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/222962"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=222961"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=222961"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=222961"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
