In the main exhibition hall this year our commercial team, along with other key members of CodaOctopus Products can be found on stand G200. Here you'll see our range of Coda and Octopus products including the all-newCoda survey Engine Seismic+ with a detailed walk-through of its impressive new features. On the water adjacent to the exhibition venue, we have a daily programme of Echoscope 3D real-time sonar technology demonstrations aboard the Wessex Explorer. Each demonstration session lasts 30 minutes and you can book your place in advance with us: - by e-mail to karine.buckwell@codaoctopus.com - by phone to +44 (0)131 561 1504 - by fax to +44 (0)131 554 7143 Tuesday 9th March Wednesday 10th March Thursday 11th March 09.15 11.15 09.15 09.45 11.45 09.45 10.15 12.15 10.15 13.45   13.45 14.15     14.45     We look forward to seeing you at Oceanology International!

	26 January 2010 New Underwater Construction Projects Involve Echoscope Real Time 3D Sonar System We are delighted to have been awarded a contract by Van Oord Dredging and Marine Contractors bv, for the supply of an Echoscope 3D Real Time Sonar System. The order follows the purchase of Echoscope systems in 2008 by Ras Laffan Northern Breakwater Contractors (RLNBC), the joint venture company comprising Van Oord and Boskalis. The systems were deployed successfully on the Ras Laffan LNG port expansion project in Qatar. The sonar, built on patented Echoscope™ technology, will be incorporated into Van Oord's existing pool of units which are to be used initially for two large scale projects in the Netherlands. In central Amsterdam the Echoscope system is being used to visualise live underwater excavation operations as part of the construction of a new metro station. Situated directly beneath the existing Amsterdam Central Station, the new metro system runs North-South across the city and will carry 200,000 passengers each day. The existing station is built on hundreds of large oak pilings which are to be carefully removed during the construction project. The unique technology of the Echoscope enables the accurate real time 3D visualisation of the pilings during the removal process as well as the dredging of the chamber around them. In Rotterdam the construction of Maasvlakte 2 is part of the Mainport Development Project where the PUMA consortium, consisting of Koninklijke Boskalis Westminster NV and Van Oord NV, has been contracted to build the first phases. In this project the Echoscope system provides crane operators with critical real time visualisation during the removal of the existing concrete breakwater structure and the construction of replacement walls. Commenting on the order, Gareth Simpson, CodaOctopus Products Sales Manager said, "When the Echoscope system was used in the breakwater construction project in Qatar, RLNBC was very pleased with the results, seeing both increased productivity and improved levels of safety. The purchase of an additional Echoscope system will enable Van Oord to achieve goals which would not be possible with other types of sonar and we are delighted to continue our working relationship with them in their marine construction projects.''

	11 December 2009 Successful New Technology Forum Leads to Plans for Norway Event in 2010 Applied Acoustics joined CodaOctopus to host this year's New Technology Forum which took place in Aberdeen on 9th December. With more attendees than the previous year along with fresh news, developments and information, the event attracted representatives from a wide range of international companies. Building on this successful event, a similar one is to be announced for Norway in February 2010. The day's informative programme attracted a good deal of positive feedback. Presentations by the teams from Applied Acoustics and CodaOctopus were followed by a host of questions and answers which provided food for thought. All of the CodaOctopus presentations along with selected Echoscope data are now available on DVD and amongst the hottest CodaOctopus presentation topics were:- Geophysical Software Preview: the all-new Coda Survey Engine Seismic+ An overview of the new features and capabilities. Collection of raw seismic survey data through to final customisable report, examining the processing, interpretation and reporting functionality. CodaOctopus Echoscope 3D Real-Time Sonar Technology Revolutionary subsea real-time imagery using Echoscope technology in subsea applications such as ROV operations, dredging, underwater construction and subsea monitoring. An insight into new developments including automatic change detection from baseline surveys, advanced on-line 3D rendering techniques and higher frequency data examples. Worldwide progress and examples of bespoke software for military and commercial clients. Fascinating data demonstrating how subsea visualisation is enhanced using Echoscope technology. Latest Developments and Enhancements in CodaOctopus Products Recent Octopus F180 developments plus the new Octopus 160 sonar interface. Update on the Octopus 120+ thermal printer since its launch earlier this year. Highlights of the new team website for enhanced service and support. DVD copies are available on request 2010 begins with another busy schedule, with CodaOctopus systems demonstrations and exhibitions including Subsea 2010 (10th-11th February) and Oceanology International (9th-11th March). The New Technology Forum in Norway takes place before OI as well as in Aberdeen at the end of the year.

	07 November 2009 New Echoscope Order from Boskalis We are delighted to announce the award of a contract from Baggermaatschappij Boskalis bv which further expands our rapidly growing Echoscope 3D real-time imaging sonar customer base. The sonar, built on patented Echoscope™ technology, will be used by Boskalis in their worldwide construction, dredging, engineering and coastal protection projects. It provides the capability to visualise, in zero visibility conditions, the subsea environment in 3 dimensions and to make real time measurements without the need for post-processing of data. Ultimately their investment in this unique technology will make Boskalis' projects safer and more efficient. Identifying the 3D visualisation capabilities of the Echoscope system, Sjoerd van den Brom, Survey Manager, commented, "At Boskalis we are continually investigating new, innovative and leading-edge technologies. From our experiences at numerous worldwide projects we know that adding a further Echoscope to our global operations will enhance both safety and productivity." Stephen Auld, CodaOctopus Products Managing Director added, "Boskalis was seeking a technical solution that would provide them with a flexible tool which is suitable for their numerous projects. The Echoscope technology is ideal for many of their immediate tasks and its suitability for future applications is assured with further capabilities and customised software from our development team."

	06 October 2009 New Octopus 160 Sonar Interface Unit The new Octopus 160™ has an all-new design and is now a compact, rugged and weather-proof sonar interface unit. Compatible with EdgeTech's work-horse 272TD dual frequency sidescan sonar it is simple to operate and is suitable for small boat use in many types of underwater survey. Housed in a rugged custom Pelicase, the 160 is highly portable and it can be operated with the lid closed allowing uninterrupted operation in harsh environments. Another popular feature is the new simple user interface for all controls and once configured for a specific towfish, this needs no further adjustment. With full compatibility with Octopus, Coda and other post processing systems and direct connection to standard EdgeTech 272TD tow cables, the Octopus 160 can extend the operability of this highly regarded analogue towfish.
