Stella

M/V Stella is a 20’ vessel that was built in 2007 to specifically solve the problems associated with performing Automated DGPS Multibeam Surveys in shallow waters such as city canals, bayous, and coastal areas. In the past, this data was collected with Automated and Conventional Hydrographic Systems and merged with the Multibeam data. To the developers here at CSI, this was not the best way to acquire this data so the M/V Stella was born on the idea of developing a rugged system to collect Multibeam data that could be merged with the remaining open water Multibeam data, thus creating a more complete data surface. The Stella is named after Chustz Surveying’s first employee, Paul Wesley Stelly (1973 - 2003).
