WASSP Multibeam

11/06/2026

This week the Seawork 2026 event is on in Southampton, bringing together the latest innovations from across the marine industry. Check out for some great shots from the event.

If you're attending, be sure to stop by and see WASSP on display at the FURUNO booth E11. A big thank you to the team for representing WASSP and showcasing how multibeam technology is helping operators work smarter on the water.
We hope everyone has a great time and a successful event!

It's great to see innovative marine technology being used to uncover and document our underwater heritage.

This impressive survey of Bay Sommersa, conducted by the Argo Evo USV as part of the PAS (Submerged Archaeological Landscapes of Campania) project, demonstrates the growing role of autonomous platforms and advanced seabed mapping in archaeological and scientific research. Great work by the team at IMTG lab - Innovation Marine Technology for Geology & Archaeology and Università degli Studi di Napoli "Parthenope"!

We're proud to see WASSP multibeam technology supporting projects that help researchers better understand and preserve submerged cultural landscapes.

When Jacob Knowles says his electronics setup will give his new boat “super powers” and it includes WASSP… we’ll take that 🚤💥

Great to see WASSP heading onboard the new boat of one of Maine’s most well-known fisherman as the install gets underway. With real-time 3D seabed mapping and water column visibility, Jacob is about to get a whole new view beneath the surface.

Another great display of WASSP and hopefully everyone has a fantastic show at the Atlantic Fair 2026 which is currently running at Klaksvík, the fishing capital of the Faroe Islands.
The teams at Radiobudin and MP Teknik have done all the work to get set up and make the show another good one.
As always, a big thanks to the Danmark A/S for their support in the region.
