To meet the challenge of scientific access to remote oceanic regions and the deep sea, an adaptive science vessel strategy called MARV is being focused on catalyzing research that is global in scale, internationally collaborative, and technology driven – and directed toward applications that will accelerate our scientific understanding of critical planetary processes and environmental change in our oceans.
Configuring chartered offshore service vessels as MARVs centers on integrating modular workspace systems on board, including modular laboratories, workshops, data processing labs, and office workspace. Global Oceans has partnered with world-wide suppliers of offshore workstations and laboratories, and has access to over 400 modular labs for project mobilization on MARV platforms.
Global Oceans is aligned with private-sector and nonprofit resource partners for access to advanced scientific and exploration tools, vehicles and technical expertise – all of which can be optimally deployed on MARV platforms configured to support each system.
