ASV Global, working with TerraSond, announced the completion of the hydrographic survey last week.  The 10,649km survey was carried out by an ASV Global C-Worker 5 unmanned vessel alongside the Q105 survey ship acting as the mother vessel. 

Larry Karl, general manager of ASV Global, said: '˜The C-Worker 5 once again proved itself to be a reliable unmanned vessel for survey with line following precision and excellent sea-keeping ability.'
