Innovation

Based on the success of our OPUS hullform, our OPUS53 Ocean Research Vessel design focuses on multiuser applications with modular deployment of equipment. The vessel maintains the seakeeping abilities and reduced motions aspects of the OPUS designs with added functionality for ultra quiet operations, dynamic positioning and increased energy usage and optimization. The modular deployment of equipment make it an ideal platform for a multiuser ocean research program.

Challenge

Designing a cost effective platform suitable for multi-purpose ocean research program.

Solution

Expanding Allswater’s OPUS platform to base the vessel on a proven hullform with known seakeeping qualities.
