Japan Multibeam and Geophysical Surveys, Kyushu Island
Sasebo, Japan is a deepwater port located in the southwestern region of Japan, on the island of Kyushu. The harbor is used by the U.S. Navy (Sasebo Naval Base) and is also a major commercial port for the area. Sea Engineering, Inc. was contracted by Environmental Science Corp to conduct hydrographic surveys in support of proposed improvements to upgrade the existing fueling facility. Over two weeks, our science and engineering team performed hydrographic surveys including:
- Multibeam sonar
- Single beam echo sounder
- Side scan sonar
- Magnetometer surveys
The results of the surveys will be used for planning future development within the project area.
