Acoustical Experience: Ships and Other Vessels

  • Marine Acoustics: PacifiCat Explorer Vessel

About This Project

The importance of controlling noise aboard ships has become widely recognized and quantitative noise level limits are now commonplace in specifications for new vessels and vessel refits. The benefits of noise control range from crew safety and increased work efficiency on work boats to passenger comfort on ferries and yachts. From its offices in Vancouver, British Columbia, the firm has served marine clients from the Pacific to the Atlantic and from the Arctic to the Gulf of Mexico. The following are selected examples of relevant project experience:
