Gardline’s new state of the art survey vessel, the Ocean Resolution, has now commenced survey operations following equipment trials earlier this year. The vessel has been purpose designed to cater for both offshore Oil & Gas and Wind Farm surveys, being equally at home in both markets.
The Ocean Resolution is a DP2 survey vessel with 80m LOA and a beam of 18m allowing her to be configured with an array of high specification equipment to conduct simultaneous survey operations from a single mobilisation including 2D & 3DHR seismic, shallow geotechnical with a 100kN CPT deployable through the vessel’s moonpool and environmental sampling through the side A-Frames. The vessel is designed with safety and comfort of the crew in mind with bespoke back deck handling systems.
“The Ocean Resolution is a true multi-purpose survey vessel offering unique solutions to our clients and adaptable to meet any survey requirement. The vessel is already proving very popular with a number of projects booked in 2021 with a wide variety of work scopes, demonstrating just how versatile she is”. - Nick Bayfield, Gardline Commercial Director.
Alan Pillar, Gardline’s Geophysical General Manager commented: “we are delighted that the Ocean Resolution is now part of Gardline’s survey fleet, after a period of detailed planning, conversion and commissioning, it’s exciting to see the vessel in operation. I am very proud of the entire team for delivering this state-of-the-art vessel."
