Kraken Sonar Inc. (Kraken) has announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary – Kraken Sonar Systems Inc. – has released SoundPix(R), which is an innovative solution for next generation seabed mapping.
Karl Kenny, President and CEO of Kraken, states:
"Seafloor mapping is one of the oldest professions known to humankind. For thousands of years, mariners have been measuring the depths under their vessels. Today's ocean surveying market is valued at over US$3 billion per year. Kraken's customers and prospects have asked for a high-resolution seabed mapping solution that leverages our Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS) technology. With SoundPix, we've given it to them – hydrographic surveyors can now increase the quantity of seafloor data, significantly improve data quality and lower data acquisition costs – all in real time. We are extremely excited by the market potential for SoundPix."

When the tanks are full, the liquefied carbon dioxide will be loaded onto a dedicated carrier from Royal Wagenborg and shipped to the INEOS Nini platform in the Danish North Sea. From there, it will be safely injected via pipeline into subsurface reservoirs approximately 1800 m beneath the seabed for permanent storage.
