Ocean Research Vessel

An ocean research vessel is a specialized ship designed for scientific exploration of the oceans. It is equipped with advanced tools and technology to study marine life, oceanography, geology, and climate. These vessels carry scientists and equipment to collect data, samples, and images from the sea floor and water column. They often include laboratories on board for analysis, and can operate in rough conditions for extended periods. Ocean research vessels help us understand ocean processes, protect marine environments, and support sustainable use of marine resources.
