Our latest addition to our in-house fleet of commercial survey and inspection equipment is our custom designed, all Australian built ASVs or Autonomous Surface Vessels. These come in a range of sizes and hull forms to be able to accommodate varying payloads, enabling the execution of a vast array of hydrographic survey projects.

These vessels are available to hire either as equipment only or they can be added to any survey project planned and executed by the experienced team at PESAC. With the ability to be equipped with a full payload of survey and sensory equipment and either remotely or autonomously controlled, these vessels are increasing the efficiency and safety of the hydrographic survey industry.

The vessels are powered by deep-cycle lithium batteries, enabling them to run autonomously up to 12 hours depending on currents and final payload. Each vessel can be equipped to your specific requirements and can be shipped right across the country.

• LOA 1.9m.
• Beam 1.2m.
• Weight 28kg (Lightship)
• Payload 32kgs (Deadweight)
