RCRV

The 192’ Regional Class Research Vessel (RCRV) provides an operating platform for performing a variety of scientific missions.

The ship has flexible laboratory spaces; large aft working deck space; accommodations for scientists, technicians, and students; and a full complement of mission specific scientific equipment. 

The ship has a high-tech series of sonars including multi-beam sonars, Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP), and fisheries sonars. 

Significant within the RCRV design is the initiative to minimize underwater and airborne noise to support acoustically sensitive instruments and missions while also increasing habitability. 

The vessel is also highly maneuverable, being controlled by twin z-drives and bow thrusters.
