Vessel, Source, and Streamer
Deploying multiple vessels on
today’s marine acquisition sur-
veys is a complex operation with
up to four vessels operating in
formation. Here, Chief Officer
Juho Luotokari is in command on
the bridge of the
WG Vespucci
in
the US Gulf of Mexico, carefully
tracking ship and streamer posi-
tions. Avoiding each vessel’s trail-
ing in-sea equipment requires
meticulous planning, execution,
and monitoring. To ensure correct
positioning within the survey
area, Positioning Specialists
Rajeev Radhamony and Trung Le
(seated) keep a close watch on
the navigation systems.
