(Video Credit: 7 News Tasmania) The River Derwent is a vital waterway for Tasmania, supporting commercial, recreational, and defence maritime activity. The Royal Australian Navy’s Geospatial teams recently conducted detailed hydrographic surveys to produce the most accurate map of the riverbed ever created, helping ensure safe navigation for all vessels operating in the region.

The surf zone remains one of the most dangerous and least understood environments in military operations, concealing mines, unexploded ordnance, and obstacles that threaten both personnel and mission success. Traditionally, clearing this route would require military divers, reconnaissance teams, or specialised vessels to move into harm’s way. Every metre of progress would carry risk. Every […]
What if a single instrument could reveal both sediment concentration and particle size throughout the water column in real time? Understanding how sediment moves through rivers, estuaries, coastal environments, and laboratory flumes is fundamental to modern oceanographic and environmental research. From coastal erosion studies and dredge plume monitoring to sediment transport modelling and habitat […]
In a field where accuracy is everything, the SeaBat T51‑R emerges as the ultimate tool—pairing Teledyne’s world‑leading innovation with BlueZone’s trusted regional expertise. As hydrographic surveying demands higher accuracy, faster data acquisition, and more efficient workflows, Teledyne Marine continues to set the global benchmark for multibeam echosounder technology. The Teledyne RESON SeaBat T51‑R represents […]
Faster Mine Detection. Safer Naval Operations. For decades, naval mines have remained one of the most effective and affordable maritime threats. Capable of disrupting sea lines of communication, delaying military operations, and threatening critical infrastructure, mines present a challenge far disproportionate to their cost. While naval platforms continue to evolve, the task of detecting […]
From mine warfare systems to advanced oceanographic sensors, Australia’s underwater capability relies on more than cutting-edge technology; it depends on the expertise that keeps it operational. In an environment where equipment reliability directly impacts safety, mission success, and operational effectiveness, access to responsive local support is critical. BlueZone Group has built its reputation on […]
How REMUS, Kraken SAS and SeeByte software are shaping the future of autonomous MCM operations. For more than 25 years, BlueZone Group has been introducing world-leading maritime and defence technologies into Australia, building a reputation as a trusted Defence partner that not only delivers capability but sustains it throughout its operational life. The recent […]
Unlocking high-resolution hydrographic survey capability in even the most constrained inland waterways, the Trident USV is redefining how data is captured where traditional vessels cannot operate. As hydrographic surveying pushes further into constrained and hard-to-access environments, the demand for compact, high-performance survey platforms continues to grow. Inland waterways; rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and coastal estuaries, present […]
When subsea assets disappear from view, certainty comes from sound—and few technologies are as critical to offshore energy operations as dependable acoustic location beacons. As offshore energy operations continue to move into deeper, more complex environments, the importance of reliable subsea location and recovery systems has never been greater. From inspection, maintenance, and repair […]
A clear glimpse into the future of subsea operations, with new platforms that promise more autonomy, greater precision, and faster results offshore. Oceanology International 2026 marked a significant moment for the global maritime community, with a surge of innovation reflecting the sector’s rapid technological evolution. From autonomous systems and sensors to advanced subsea and survey […]
