Hugin 3000 configuration

Platform: Hugin 3000
Manufacturer: Kongsberg Maritime

Summary

HUGIN 3000

HUGIN 3000 is the offshore AUV workhorse with 1 m diameter and 3000 m depth rating. Major survey companies use HUGIN 3000 for detailed seabed mapping for offshore oil and gas companies.

HUGIN 3000 is powered by a novel semi fuel cell battery providing more than 60 hours endurance at four knots speed with multibeam echo sounder, sidescan sonar, sub-bottom profiler and CTD running. The long endurance allows higher operational efficiency, as well as reduced number of recoveries and thus reduced operational risk.


Important features of HUGIN 3000 include unparalleled navigation accuracy, flexibility in payload sensors and a robust and reliable launch and recovery system for use up to sea state 5.
