REV Ocean Finds Ship Management Partner for New Expedition Vessel
innovation board will evaluate and recommend research projects for REV Ocean to pursue and ensure the highest scientific standards and research quality onboard.The vessel can accommodate 106 people, of which around 50-65 will be crewed, depending on the planned operations. The ship features scientific equipment, such as echo sounders and sonars to study fish and other marine species, an advanced eco-harvesting trawl sampling system for selective live catch of biomass and pelagic samples, a submarine, an advanced ROV, and multiple on-board laboratories.The vessel will undergo final outfitting later

The dynamic positioning system and the electric bow thruster facilitate the maneuverability of the boat.It will have an oceanographic marine telescopic main crane at the stern for marine use designed to launch and to recover scientific equipment (corer, buoys, etc.) and general handling on the aft part of the vessel. In addition, she will have a type A stern gantry, a T-type lateral gantry and a telescopic rail beam for CTD maneuvering. For fishing operations, this boat will also have two trawling winches and a removable net drum
