Isn’t there a seismic acquisition system installed on the ship?
Hello Mike
The ship was fitted with two seismic compressors underneath the back deck of the ship during construction, and the system that will plug into these compressors is currently being determined in consultation with Geoscience Australia.
When it came to the fact sheets, we have only included the capabilities for which the procurement process has been finalised. Stay tuned, we’ll have lots to say about the complete system down the track.
