Investigator

Client: CSIRO

The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation is an independent Australian federal government agency responsible for scientific research.

The Investigator is among the most capable and quietest non-naval research vessels in the world. It serves Australia in diverse scientific operations ranging over an area from the equator to the ice shelf of Antarctica and spanning almost one third of the circumference of the globe. An area this large is hugely diverse and the types of research to be undertaken are numerous and demanding, resulting in the need for a very flexible, capable and seaworthy research vessel.

Offshore Fisheries Science Vessels

Client: CCG

The Canadian Coast Guard’s mission is to ensure Canada’s aquatic ecosystems and fisheries are sustainable and economically successful. They also keep Canadian waters safe and secure.

The new offshore fisheries science vessels will be used to conduct scientific research in all of Canada’s three oceans; a critical step in ensuring the best possible management of the fishery resources. The new vessels are a stable, sea kindly, manoeuvrable, and acoustically quiet platform to conduct physical, chemical, and biological assessments to describe and monitor the distribution, abundance and health of marine species. The vessels will also act as a platform to conduct physical, chemical and biological oceanographic research and habitat mapping by launching/towing/retrieving a variety of physical and biological sampling gear including: water samplers, temperature and salinity profilers, bottom grabs, gravity corers, plankton nets and small towed, tethered and autonomous underwater bodies and vehicles.
