  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">IXSurvey Limited were contracted to undertake a geophysical site survey in the Sound of Stroma in
the Pentland Firth.
The offshore operations for this project were performed from the survey vessel M.V iXPlorer
between 8th&#x2013;16th September 2009. The vessel was fitted with a RESON 8125 Multibeam echosounder
and a hull mounted Geoacoustics 5430A pinger. A Klein 3000 side scan sonar interfaced with a
Marine Magnetics magnetometer was also utilised.
Positioning was provided by Trimble SBS850 and Trimble R8 Rover RTK DGPS reference systems in
combination with an Octans 3000 gyro compass and a GAPS USBL system.
The objective of the surveys was to provide geophysical data to determine geological conditions and
hazards affecting the planning, design and installation of an offshore marine current energy project
in Stroma Sound.</dc:description>
