Fredericton, NB, CANADA, May 12, 2020 — Teledyne CARIS, a Teledyne Technologies [NYSE:TDY] company, is pleased to announce that the Swedish Maritime Administration (SMA) has selected Teledyne CARIS to provide tools for generalisation of bathymetric data in nautical charts.

Through a competitive tender process, SMA has chosen Teledyne CARIS to provide CARIS BASE Editor as the solution for the generalization of bathymetric data in nautical charts. The software platform will provide the tools needed to generate contours and sounding selections using automated processes as much as possible.

We have seen what the CARIS tools can do and we expect great results moving forward,” said Marcus Hassel, System Administrator, SMA. “I would like to add that despite the current situation we are facing the world over, we were able execute the project as planned thanks to the collaboration and goodwill of everyone involved.”
