The MV Indies Surveyor is built tough for tough assignments, this 75 ft survey vessel is the perfect remote location marine operations platform and has delivered on countless projects in the remote corners of the Pacific. She currently mobilises from Majuro in the Marshall Islands, and operates between Beran Island and Bikini Atoll where she helms the dive operation on the nuclear fleet.
Her hull is a single chine non displacement hull. The vessel is constructed of marine grade aluminium alloy with a raked bow, transom stern, full keel, batwing stabilizers fitted, onboard decompression chamber, dive compressors and mixing station. She features 13 berths and boasts a range of 3000NM.
Decompression Chamber
For deep technical diving in remote areas, we don’t cut corners or risk our diver’s safety. That is why we have a decompression chamber on board, in case of any issues.
