Kongsberg Evotec also signed a contract with a Norwegian customer for a Seismic Handling system featuring a containerised gun system. The equipment is scheduled for delivery in Norway, July 2016.
All Kongsberg Evotec Seismic Handling systems are custom built for specific vessel and client needs, using an established portfolio of reliable, feature rich equipment that covers: Streamer handling system, Gun handling system, Wide tow system, Back-deck control system and additional seismic products.
