The diesel-electric vessel will accommodate 43 crew and scientists on long-term oceanographic observation programmes, including the operation of unmanned remotely operated vehicles (ROV), terrain survey and mapping, seismic pattern detection, long-core sampling, compiling diagrams of topology and stratum, and performing real-time data processing and sampling in onboard laboratories.<\/p>\n
The IMT2001 vessel will be fitted with two A-frames, two deck cranes, an ROV launch and a recovery A-frame with umbilical winch, streamer winch and gun array. An MEBO200 seabed drilling rig will be capable of core drilling 200m below the sea floor and can be fitted with a range of different deck equipment spreads.<\/p>\n
The vessel, to be classed with the Taiwanese Classification Society, will be equipped with two main azimuth propulsion thrusters and two bow tunnel thrusters, with DP1 dynamic positioning.<\/p>\n
The vessel will be built by Triyards Shipyard in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and is scheduled for delivery in August 2017.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
