The vessel is capable of storing and deploying acoustic energy sources, seismic streamers, and recording equipment for processing seismic data. A unique ballast system accommodates structural flexing of the vessel. The vessel is uniquely suitable to efficiently access previously inaccessible survey sites and provides design flexibility in customizing the seismic vessel to unique operating requirements.
