ODP 1027 Surveys

Lodbrog and Atlantis have finished their node and cable installation work at Barkley Canyon, and are now preparing for the node deployment to ODP 1027.

The southern cable lay was completed at approximately 2:30am (local time) yesterday morning. The southern cable is located in around 800m of water at 48 18.7217"N, -126 03.9412"W. This is approximately 7m from the planned position. The nearest hydrate mounds are about 10-15 meters from the cable end.

Lodbrog has returned to Victoria to load the next node. Atlantis and ROPOS are surveying the plannned deployment site at ODP 1027.
