On Site Operator Training

As part of our On-Site Operator Training, a FarSounder technician will visit the customer's vessel, perform an operational check of the FarSounder equipment and provide training of our products to the captain and crew. It is recommended that the vessel and crew be available for a short cruise so that training can be given while the vessel is underway.
