Survey Vessels
Topographic and hydrographic surveys are a key part of dredging and reclamation operations, and Gulf Cobla has always been a self-provider for the surveys associated with the works.
The launches are small and shallow enough to work right up to a bund or a quay wall, which is where the tolerance usually matters most.
