Public description

Channel survey and sounding vessels support hydrographic and waterway survey work for the Canadian Coast Guard. They help maintain safe navigation by collecting depth, channel and sounding data in waterways where navigation safety depends on current information. Their role is maritime infrastructure support rather than patrol.
