TowRay is ideally suited for large-area seabed mapping and monitoring where efficiency and cost control are critical. Towed behind a small survey vessel, the system allows operators to regulate sensor altitude using a standard winch, like conventional geophysical towfish operations. Real-time data visualization provides immediate feedback during acquisition, enabling optimized coverage, targeted resurveying, and efficient use of vessel time. This makes the TowRay a highly cost-effective solution for repeat surveys, baseline mapping, and time-series monitoring across extensive coastal and shallow-water areas.

The TowRay can be deployed by customer survey teams or delivered as part of turnkey survey services through PlanBlue’s trusted operating partners.
