In 2019, PGS committed to support the Seabed 2030 project. Seabed 2030 is a collaborative project between the Nippon Foundation of Japan and the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO). It aims to bring together all available bathymetric data to produce the definitive map of the world ocean floor by 2030 and make it available to all.
In 2020, we implemented a live feed of echo-sounder data to Seabed 2030 from all our vessels. Wherever our vessels travel, we send back data that will eventually improve bathymetric mapping of the ocean floor and lead to more accurate sea charts improving the safety of all at sea.
