iXblue Pty Ltd. in Brisbane, Australia, part of iXblue Group based in France, has diversified its Sea Operations division to include aerial mapping for clients across Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific. 

With more than 100,000 line miles surveyed worldwide, iXblue has been operating the division in the region since 2007, providing clients with detailed and precise surveys of the marine and littoral environment.

The diversification in capability to include aerial mapping alongside the marine survey business complements the growing demand from clients to offer seamless products from iXblue’s hydrographic and topographic mapping operations.

Aerial mapping capabilities include digital imagery and topographic and bathymetric LiDAR from helicopter and fixed-wing platforms to provide custom solutions to commercial and government clients.

Leading the iXblue aerial mapping operations is Matthew James as the division’s general manager. He brings a wealth of commercial experience in the geospatial industry, with previous roles held at Fugro and Esri Australia.
