The HFT HydroVane 08 is a series of deflectors designed for surface towing.
The units are built to order, and may vary in size and lift according to specific requirements. We have built units upon order for lift as low as 0,8 ton based upon specific tasks.They are all manufactured using FRP - in high tension areas – GRP and syntactic foam.
The first of these units were built for a joint development project undertaken by Southampton
Oceanography Centre, FUGRO Survey Oslo, VBPR and the University of Tromsoe in
Norway for a new concept for acquisition of high-resolution 3D seismic data using a series
of single-channel streamers.
The HydroVane is fixed to a wave piercing buoyancy module distanced above the poil arrays
to a suitable distance fitting the required tow-depth of the perpendicular cable towing mini
streamers. It may also be rigged for more traditional seismic towing.
