11.5m Unmanned Survey Vessel
Detailed design of a first of class survey vessel for EGS Australia. Dual mode manned and unmanned operations, with a retractable gondola into streamlined hull fairings for semi-displacement speeds.
In naval architecture its rare to get the opportunity to design something truly unique; that has a combination of features that there’s really no known precedent for, to use as a guide or starting point.
A veritable marine surveyors Swiss army knife - this is exactly that kind of vessel. Exceptional fuel efficiency and seakeeping, delivering high level operability and efficiency in service.
