The MacArtney Underwater Technology Group is pleased to announce the entering of a distributors agreement with Cooper Interconnect, hereby adding BurtonTM subsea connectors, penetrators and accessories to the MacArtney range of underwater connectivity solutions.
As an official distributor, MacArtney will keep a standing stock of BurtonTM subsea connectors for immediate delivery at several MacArtney locations worldwide. The MacArtney stock of BurtonTM connectors will focus particularly on the 5500 and 6600 series.
The firm also said Russian State Scientific Centre Yuzhmorgeologiya (YMG), had recently placed a significant order for SubConn®(especially Hard Anodized Aluminium and Micro Series types) and BurtonTM connectors, to interface its extensive range of underwater equipment
Based in Gelendzhik, on the coast of the Black Sea, YMG holds 55 years of experience in various federal and international programmes and is active in the offshore geophysical industry, hereunder in exploration, prospection and development of resources on the continental shelf and in oceanographic surveying of domestic and international oceans.
At the moment, YMG is implementing a programme on the prospecting of cobalt-rich crusts and sulphides in a very challenging and harsh Pacific environment (about 4 kilometres water depth). For this task, YMG is developing a number of specialised ROVs and towed systems on which MacArtney connectivity products will be widely used.
MacArtney Group CEO Niels Erik Hedeager, said: "MacArtney is always looking to provide existing and potential customers with an exhaustive selection of reliable underwater connectivity options. Being a high quality product, featuring high pin-counts, BurtonTM subsea connectors are a good addition to existing SubConn®, OptoLink and MacAPI connector solutions available exclusively through MacArtney.
"MacArtney is looking forward to a long-time partnership with Cooper Interconnect and sees the distributor agreement as a good opportunity to expand MacArtney's scope of support to an even larger share of the market for underwater technology - especially with an eye to equipment operators that currently rely on BurtonTM connectivity solution."
