ASI Group Ltd. owns and operates a variety of dedicated manned and unmanned survey vessels configured to provide a wide range of survey services to various industries. Combined with the latest in MBES, GNSS, INS, side-scan, sub-bottom, and lidar, ASI’s Hydro Service has earned an international reputation for surveying in complex environments and providing the highest standards of quality.
