Survey and maritime engineering
Satellite navigation has revolutionised
hydrographic surveying. Most marine
engineering activities benefit from satellite
navigation, such as the dredging and
maintenance of ports and waterways,
mapping underwater obstacles during
hydrographic surveys, pipe and cable laying,
and mineral and aggregate extraction.
Ice-breaking ships in the Arctic have started to
use satellite navigation to adjust their paths in
the shipping lanes according to ice thickness. [1]
