SSCN-SEGMENT-2-C Apollo Marine Park Shallow Waters Bathymetry Survey 2024

EGS Survey Pty Ltd collected bathymetric data onboard the RV Bold Explorer between February 24 and March 5, 2024. The survey covers the Apollo Marine Park area to support engineering and construction of the SUBCO Subsea Cable Network Segment 2-C. This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes.

Use Cases

• Identify viable cable routes based on bathymetry and seabed slope data.
• Assess seabed ploughing and burial suitability based on sea floor conditions.
• Map obstacles for cable route planning based on features like rock outcrops and shipwrecks.
• Analyze shallow geology along a proposed subsea cable path.

Strengths

• Data was collected during a dedicated survey from February 24 to March 5, 2024.
• The survey purpose was clearly defined for engineering a specific subsea cable segment.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
