Exploration Vessel (EV)

An Exploration Vessel (EV) is a specialized ship designed for scientific research and exploration of remote or deep-sea areas. Equipped with advanced sonar, laboratories, and submersibles, it enables scientists to study ocean environments, marine life, and underwater geology. EVs are built to operate in challenging conditions, often over long periods, gathering valuable data that enhances our understanding of the Earth’s oceans and supports conservation efforts. Essentially, they serve as floating research stations that open up the largely uncharted and mysterious underwater world for scientific investigation.
