Invariably different inventive, interesting and innovative, research vessels, while there are far fewer of them than tugs or ferries, for example, keep being launched. Mostly owned by governments or well-funded research organisations, these vessels are generally designed and built with little expense spared. That tends to make them especially interesting.
This week on Baird Maritime, we have examples from Australia, China, and Russia. They are all quite different in most respects and brimming with innovative ideas that will be of value whatever kinds of vessels you own or operate.
– "The vessel is equipped with trawls, underwater acoustic sensors, and provisions for launching and recovering remotely operated vehicles."
– "The use of AUVs became necessary partly due to their ability to operate in environments that are too hazardous for humans to venture into in that part of Antarctica."
Remember to come back every day to see the latest news, opinion and vessel reviews!
