This week, we look at newly delivered research and survey vessels in service around the world, from the cold northern waters of Russia to the warmer environments of the Middle East. Most are newbuilds while one is a refurbished vessel that was originally designed to support the offshore energy industry.
We will also feature two important marine research projects, a recently completed mission in Maldives and an upcoming construction activity to expand New Zealand's knowledge of the harsh Antarctic environment.
Visit Baird Maritime regularly over the coming days to get the latest on these important sectors of the global maritime industry.
– "The mission saw the deployment of two advanced crewed submersibles, robotic and autonomous systems, and more than a dozen research technologies."
– "The station is slated to become operational in January 2027, 70 years after the original Scott Base opened in 1957."
– "The reason it was built so quickly is because the Electric Boat division had lots of experience from building submarines for the US Navy."
– by Bob Iversen, retired Hawaii fishery biologist
