As part of its ongoing expansion, Swathe Services (UK) has recently signed an agreement with R2SONIC (USA) to represent them as sales agents supplying the innovative SONIC2022 and SONIC 2024 in the UK. The SONIC2022 and 2024 are the worlds’ first true wideband high resolution shallow water multibeam echosounders, with proven results and unmatched performance.

James Williams, Managing Director of Swathe Services, recognised the value of this innovative system at an early stage and has already generated strong interest from some major UK marine survey companies. “We organised trials and demonstrations earlier this year and received a very positive response from those who attended. I am delighted that R2SONIC recognises our commitment to their products and that they have chosen to work with Swathe Services to drive their sales forward within the UK. We already have the first system available in the UK for rental and demand for this has far exceeded our expectations. We look forward to a successful future with R2SONIC".

The R2SONIC has impressed customers with its flexibility as a survey tool in comparison to other commercially available multibeam systems. Its frequency and swathe agility, simplicity of operation, reliability and high quality data output combines to produce an outstanding system that has led to significant sales over five continents since its launch in 2008. As testimony to its impressive performance some customers are even trading in their current fully functional multibeam systems from competing manufacturers in order to purchase the SONIC2024.
