Teledyne Marine has launched the HydroPACT 440 MK2, a significant evolution of its historic subsea cable and pipeline tracking system. subsea pipeline and cable. This new version inherits more than three decades of proven service in demanding offshore environments, incorporating a modern redesign without altering the operational familiarity that field technicians value.
HydroPACT 440 MK2 with new reliable design
The HydroPACT 440 upgrade responds to the need for technological longevity. Equipped with a more compact and lighter titanium housing, the MK2 is capable of operating down to 6,000 meters.
This not only extends its range of application, but also improves its endurance under extreme conditions. The unit now operates on 24 V DC, which reduces system complexity and facilitates its integration with electric ROVs vehicles.
Prepared for the challenges of the future
Major enhancements include new surface control stations SDC11 and RMC11, optimized for Windows 11, along with an updated version of the DeepView software.
This combination ensures continuity for existing users and a reduced learning curve for new additions. In addition, the modular design allows for future adaptations without the need to reformulate the current operational logic.
Critical applications in energy, telecommunications and defense
On HydroPACT 440 MK2 maintains its capability for real-time tracking and verification of cable and pipeline routing, essential functions in offshore power, data infrastructure and marine operations projects. Its compatibility with a wide range of ROVS y trenchers makes it a versatile tool for inspection and maintenance of submerged assets.
Teledyne Marine has prioritized downward compatibility. Users of previous versions can upgrade without having to completely replace their systems. This decision reduces operating costs and extends the life of existing investments, reinforcing the promise of business continuity.
International debut at Oceanology International 2026
The system will be commercially available at the same price as its predecessor, and will be officially launched March 10-12 in London during the Oceanology International 2026 event, one of the world’s most important forums for marine marine technology.
With the MK2, Teledyne Marine reinforces its leadership in subsea tracking technologies, offering a robust, scalable solution ready to meet the technical challenges of the coming years.
