The RV Nautilus, formerly known as Nautical Geo, reached the shores of the East Coast on March 3 after undergoing a six-month retrofit in Las Palmas.

The 75-meter-long, 2000-built DP2 vessel will provide support for U.S. offshore wind projects and various other subsea needs.

According to TDI-Brooks, the vessel provides a wide range of offshore support, including subsea services, construction assistance, exploration, production, AUV, ROV, and diving support, and caters to military operations, scientific marine research, and survey mapping. 

Nautilus has a North American MCK-1240 upper forecastle deck on the starboard side, which includes a SWL 7.1-ton crane, and is equipped with Geomil Manta-200 CPT, Neptune 3K & 5K vibracorers, and a specially designed pneumatic vibracorer by TDI-Brooks, which are said to enable efficient and accurate geotechnical surveys and sampling.

The vessel, which offers 46 berths, is equipped with a Teledyne RESON full ocean depth multibeam echosounder (MBES) which allows for surveys up to approximately 2,500 meters of water depth, TDI-Brooks said.
