remote sensing services

Quest Marine Services can mobilize a range of remote sensing equipment to perform a multitude of tasks. These tasks include:

1. Object / target detection and location.
2. Inspection, survey and analysis of specific identified targets.
3. High resolution imaging of specific targets or objects.
4. Acoustic surveys of specific sites or large areas in both the near shore and open ocean environments.

Available remote sensing equipment includes:

1. Side scan sonar.
2. Magnetometer.
3. Remote Operated Vehicles.
4. High Resolution Cameras.
