Profile

The client is a pilotage company that plans out voyages for vessels to be able to safely navigate in the Polar regions. They are highly dependent on accurate maps to provide the best possible service.

Proposal

We were commissioned by the client to provide them with accurately mapped coastlines at both low and high tide, as well as identify submerged hazards, such as reefs, rocks and sand banks.

Customer Experience

DHI GRAS did a great job in helping us understand the value of the data and delivery was fast and on time.
