NorSol is preparing a dual-channel navigation echosounder for industrial production. The design builds on tested electronics and software, and the revised configuration is being finalized ahead of qualification and Type Approval testing. NorSol welcomes enquiries from manufacturers with complementary marine equipment ranges.
Engineering record
NorSol is led by Leonid Boldyrev, who served as Chief Engineer at SKIPPER Electronics AS from 1992 to 2011. His system-design work included the GDS101, GDS102, GDF201, DL850 and EML224 product families. Some of these products remained on sale until 2024.
Engineering track record →For established manufacturers
Manufacturers of bridge electronics often have established shipyard customers, distributors and service networks. Navigation echosounders can complement these existing product ranges.
NorSol offers an advanced product design, together with direct engineering support for qualification, production introduction and after-sales service.
Technology and development status →The echosounder uses previously tested electronic and software designs. NorSol is completing the revised product configuration before formal qualification and Type Approval testing.
Areas of expertise
NorSol focuses on navigation echosounders and vessel-speed measurement, with experience extending from system design through testing, manufacture and support aboard vessels.
Development of navigation echosounders, including single- and dual-channel systems for commercial marine use.
Technology overview →Electromagnetic speed-log design and ongoing development of acoustic water-track and bottom-track systems.
Related technologies →Practical experience in Type Approval processes, manufacturing documentation, production and field service.
Industrialization capability →Industrialization
A marine navigation product must pass the applicable tests, be manufactured consistently and remain serviceable throughout its operating life.
NorSol brings direct experience in testing, production setup, fault diagnosis and field support — work that is essential after the design stage.
Industrialization & delivery →Hardware, software and system documentation needed for manufacturing and testing.
Planning and technical support for required tests and submissions. Formal approvals are issued by the relevant bodies.
Assembly procedures, production tests, manufacturing records and fault diagnosis.
Commissioning, field service, diagnostics and product updates.
For OEM partners
NorSol welcomes confidential discussions with manufacturers whose bridge-equipment ranges could be complemented by a navigation echosounder.
