Abstract

The Great North Channel Torres Strait Multibeam survey was acquired for the Australian Hydrographic Office (AHO) onboard the MV Offshore Guardian and MV Special Order during the period 04 February– 14 April 2021. This was a contracted survey conducted by Guardian Geomatics as part of the Hydroscheme Industry Partnership Program. The survey area encompasses the Great North East Channel of the Torres Strait located between the Stephens Island, Pearce Cay and Rennel Island, Queensland. Bathymetry data was acquired using a Kongsberg EM2040-07 and Norbit iWBMSh Stx 200-400 kHz and processed using CARIS HIPS & SIPS 11.3 processing software. The dataset was then exported as a 30m resolution, 32 bit floating point GeoTIFF grid of the survey area. This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes.
