UG: Uni-Pact
The Uni-Pact has been developed to complement larger survey vessels used for survey and support tasks where a smaller vehicle is better suited to missions, offering efficient bathymetry from an unmanned platform. Made of asymmetric tough moulded polyethylene catamaran hull and an alloy deck, the Uni-Pact is incredibly stable and versatile. Its ability to work in shallow coastal waters that cannot be accessed safely by manned survey vessels has proven its worth.
