SSCN-SEGMENT-2-C: Shallow Waters Bathymetry in Apollo Marine Park, 2024

EGS Survey Pty Ltd collected bathymetry, seabed feature, and shallow geology data for the SUBCO Subsea Cable Network (SSCN) Segment 2-C route between Perth and Sydney. The survey, conducted from February 24 to March 5, 2024, focused on the Apollo Marine Park to identify a viable cable route free of excessive slopes and obstacles. This dataset is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and is not for navigational use.

Use Cases

• Route planning for subsea cables based on bathymetry and seabed slope data.
• Identifying seabed hazards like rock outcrops or existing infrastructure for construction risk assessment.
• Analyzing shallow geology and sea floor conditions to assess cable burial feasibility.
• Mapping bathymetric features within a designated marine park for environmental or regulatory studies.

Strengths

• Data was collected during a dedicated commercial survey from February 24 to March 5, 2024, providing a specific temporal snapshot.
• The survey purpose is clearly defined: to find a secure cable route clear of slopes >6° and obstacles.
• The geographic scope is precisely confined to the Apollo Marine Park along a proposed trunk route between Perth and Sydney.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset explicitly states it is not to be used for navigational purposes, limiting its application scope.
