ACSM’s OSV Nautilus has successfully completed a modernization process that returns her to service with enhanced marine research capabilities. After several months at the Viana do Castelo shipyard, the vessel has received a new gondola equipped with the advanced KONGSBERG EM124 multibeam echo sounder, enabling her to conduct more detailed studies of the seabed.
The return of the OSV Nautilus to Vigo
In recent days, the Nautilus has undergone its final overhaul at the Vigo base, where it has been adapted to new technological standards to offer even more precise performance in its subsea missions. This modernization process guarantees greater operational efficiency and also a reduced environmental impact, a key aspect in today’s marine surveys .
ACSM would like to especially thank Seaplace for its dedication to the installation of the new gondola. This joint effort has been instrumental in maintaining the quality and versatility that characterizes the ACSM fleet, ensuring that the Nautilus continues to be an essential tool for marine research in the subsea industry.
With this refurbishment, the Nautilus is ready to take on new challenges and continue to offer high-quality services to the offshore industry . This return undoubtedly marks a significant advance in the technological capabilities of ACSM vessels.
