| Abstract |
In 1983, the Belgian Government instructed the Belgian company Eurosense to start with the development of a new hydrographic measuring system: a specially designed hovercraft-based sounding system. After a period of extended testing, the craft and its special purpose hardware and software was accepted in 1985 by the Coastal Hydrographic Office of the Belgian Ministry of Public Works. Now the system is successfully employed for monitoring changes to access channels of the major Belgian sea ports and for supervising the extensive dredging activities. Moreover, it is used to observe the beaches and offshore areas near the Belgian coast. |
