WESMAR EV850
Expedition Vessel Navigation and Security Sonar

WESMAR’s new EV850 Expedition Vessel Navigation and Security Sonar addresses the navigation and safety of cruise ships, expedition vessels and large yachts at anchor or underway.

Why is this important? The Wall Street Journal describes piracy attacks rising at a meteoric rate. Numerous cases of vessel boardings with dire results while anchored have been reported, a substantial number by undetected swimmers from shore.

“These days a major concern is a terrorist attack,” says the vice president of fleet operations for a U.S. adventure cruise company.  Their newest vessel is one of the first to install WESMAR’s new technology 850 series sonar.  They are prepared against marine hazards and underwater intruders.

The WESMAR EV850 addresses security 24/7 regardless of conditions, providing:

  • Safety while cruising in unknown or hazardous waters, including alerts of icebergs, underwater rocks/pinnacles and reefs
  • Scanning harbor entrances for safe passage and tidal anchorages for mooring hazards
  • Constant 360 degree sonar monitoring of depth under vessel to prevent groundings
  • Security sonar for detection of underwater intruders

WESMAR is the industry leader in searchlight sonar for commercial, pleasure and government applications.
