Abstract :
In a time where the increasing need for better knowledge of our oceans contrasts with a climate of tightening budgets, CSSF and HTI present a complete complement of innovative and cost-efficient solutions to many of the challenges faced in the installation and maintenance of ocean networks infrastructure from the subsea nodes out to all of the peripheral instruments.
