Survey vessel

Vessel engineering for hydrographic and geophysical research

We provide survey vessel engineering and services that cover key technological requirements that enable exacting hydrographic and geophysical survey work. We have extensive experience in both the offshore energy industry and in design and engineering for ocean research vessels and blue water navy vessels. We can meet the most exacting performance requirements for any survey vessel operator and owner. 

Powering performance with proven advantages:

  • An in-house hydrodynamic research centre for minimum underwater noise
  • Ship Design services for end-to-end engineering support on survey vessels
  • Highly competitive K-Pos dynamic positioning systems that reduce fuel use
  • Integrated solutions for reduced build times and efficient operations
