Streeterville

The Streeterville is shallow-draft vessel suitable for work in water 0.5 - 100 m depth. It is a tri-hull with a wide beam and can carry up to 1000 lbs. and five people. This makes it useful when a lot of equipment is required for a shallow-water survey. It provides a stable platform for working over the side and is used primarily for bathymetric surveys.

Applications: SANDS and shallow seismic surveys.
