QUIETER WATERS FOR LONDONS RIVER
Halyard Marine has helped achieve lower noise levels on the Thames with a new exhaust system fitted to a Port of London Authority (PLA) survey vessel. The PLA is responsible for surveying the riverbed and shoreline for 90 miles of the tidal River Thames. At its latest refit, the largest survey vessel in their fleet, Verifier, has been fitted with a specially-designed Halyard exhaust system. This has made a substantial cut in ” pass-by” noise and internal reverberation.
Professor Turnbull says: “The world’s ports are experiencing major changes, whether it’s a privatisation scheme to bring in much needed investment or new work practices to increase flexibility and efficiency. However, many ports lack the appropriate mechanisms to involve the relevant parties in the process of change.
Noise and vibration must be minimised to achieve the best results from the vessel’s hydrographic equipment, as well as keeping external noise levels at a minimum.
