Aberdeen-based Veripos has been awarded a long-term contract by Maritima de Ecologia SA de CV (MARECSA) for supply of GNSS positioning services and equipment aboard its DP vessel Don Jaime, which is carrying out extensive internal pipeline corrosion inspection work in the Bay of Campeche on behalf of PEMEX, the Mexican state oil concern.

Under the contract, continuous precision positioning is being provided via the Gulf of Mexico sector of Veripos’ proprietary Americas GNSS regional network covering north, south and central America.

Support equipment supplied for integration into Don Jaime’s own dynamic positioning system includes a Veripos LD3-G1 integrated mobile unit configured for reception of L1 Single Frequency GPS; the unit additionally incorporates an L-band satellite differential correction demodulator.

Commenting on the award, Tommy Cathcart, Veripos’ Business Development Manager for Latin America, said: “We are delighted to receive this contract award from MARECSA and look forward to co-operating with them on many future projects. We see the Mexican market as an area of significant growth for our precise positioning services.”
