The specific design criteria for the HFT CatFish 075 has been to benefit from the excellent towing capabilities
that the CatFish 100 has previously achieved, but with the aim to reduce size and weight.
The unit has proven to perform as expected, and is now in use with seismic companies for various tasks
requiring depth and stability.
CatFish 075 is designed to have a slight positive buoyancy during operations, and fitted with a "weak link"
near the tow-point. There should be an excellent chance to recover expensive equipment installed on the fish
in the event of a collision or any other incident with the unit.
The HFT CatFish 075 may be purpose designed to carry specific equipment. It will also be possible
to fit a "skid" underneath to carry equipment that is not suitable to fit onto the platform itself. It may also
be designed as a remotely controlled unit, with the possibility of remote or auto-control, and still achieve the
superior depth capabilities and stability the design allows for.
