Cruise & Ferry Review - Spring/Summer 2025

194 FEATURED PARTNERS FarSounder FarSounder’s Argos 3D Forward Looking Sonar provides a real-time 3D underwater image, enabling passenger vessels to avoid underwater obstacles and safely navigate unknown waters. Argos sonars operate at navigationally significant ranges out to over half a nautical mile, detecting whales, ice, rocky pinnacles, coral reefs and more. Shipowners can also build a map of the seafloor everywhere they travel and share it across the fleet. Users also have the option to share seafloor data anonymously with global ocean mapping initiatives, and in return, they receive an aggregate of seafloor data collected by other Argos users across the FarSounder Fleet. www.farsounder.com Matrix Ship Management Matrix Ship Management is a market leader that manages passenger vessels for a number of key clients and government entities.
