CADDEN is very proud to have taken part in the HT20MW project in collaboration with our supplier Sonardyne! Our equipment was successfully deployed. The objective was to test different devices for continuous monitoring of dynamic cable deformation in time and space.

Our solution combines Sonardyne’s systems:

  • Cable positioning with a USBL Mini-Ranger 2 and a Lodestar mounted on a ship’s boom, and Nano acoustic transponders mounted on the cable.
  • Current survey using an ADCP Origin 600, deployed then recovered near the ship with RT 6-1000 and RT 6-3000 acoustic releases.

Port Revel

Port Revel renews once again its confidence in CADDEN for the supply of ship tracking systems to train marine pilots worldwide.

CADDEN is supporting the world’s largest training center for ship pilots in this new project:

  • the supply of ship tracking systems based on the ANANAS PPU.
  • the complete overhaul of their “Port Revel Tracking” training tool.

25 years of passion and expertise: thanks to Dominique CHASSAGNE

In addition to CADDEN’s 25th anniversary, we celebrated an exceptional milestone at the end of the year: the 25th anniversary of Dominique CHASSAGNE, our Technical Director.

For a quarter of a century, Dominique has been at the heart of our success, contributing not only his technical expertise, but also his dedication, creativity and capacity for innovation. His career is a true example of commitment and passion, values that define CADDEN.

As a technical leader, he plays a key role in developing innovative solutions, supporting our customers, and sharing his know-how with the team.

A huge thank you for everything you’ve achieved, Dominique, and for everything you continue to bring to CADDEN. We’re proud to work alongside you, and look forward to continuing this adventure together.

On CADDEN's side

Annual seminar and Christmas party

During the summer, CADDEN members took part in the annual seminar celebrating the company’s 25th anniversary. The venue was the city of Nantes, in the vineyards, for a day rich in entertainment and exercises to build together the pitch to present the company and the values we embody.

In December, the whole team got together to celebrate Christmas. On the program, the team took part in a quiz game before warming up in a mountain chalet-style restaurant.
