RV Derinsu is a Turkish research and survey vessel owned and operated in deep waters by Derinsu Underwater Engineering headquartered in Ankara, Turkey. [1] [2] [3]
Derinsu is 45 m (147 ft 8 in) long with a beam of 15 m (49 ft 3 in) and a max. draft of 4.1 m (13 ft 5 in). [4] She has a tonnage of 612 GT [1]
Originally a fishing boat, she was refit with state-of-the-art instruments and equipment for hydrographic, geophysical, geotechnical, oceanographic and marine environmental surveys. The vessel is capable of conducting research work in depths up to 3,000 m (9,800 ft). [2] [5]
In 2014, she was commissioned to carry out surveys in the Black Sea off Akliman, Sinop, where the construction of the Sinop Nuclear Power Plant is planned. Preliminary research works were completed by the RV TÜBİTAK Marmara. [5]
A research vessel is a ship or boat designed, modified, or equipped to carry out research at sea. Research vessels carry out a number of roles. Some of these roles can be combined into a single vessel but others require a dedicated vessel. Due to the demanding nature of the work, research vessels may be constructed around an icebreaker hull, allowing them to operate in polar waters.
RV Atlantis is a Thomas G. Thompson-class oceanographic research ship, owned by the US Navy and operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) fleet. She is the host vessel of DSV Alvin. She is named for the first research vessel operated by WHOI, the sailboat RV Atlantis, for which the Space ShuttleAtlantis is also named.

RV Tom Crean is a multi-purpose research vessel operated by the Marine Institute of Galway, Ireland. It entered service in 2022 for use in fisheries research, oceanographic, hydrographic and geological research as well as deploying and maintaining weather buoys, observational infrastructure and remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs) in the Irish Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). According to its owners it is the "worlds quietest research vessel", being the first vessel to exceed the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) noise standard for fisheries research. Named after Irish Antarctic explorer Tom Crean, the vessel is 52.8 metres long and can accommodate 12 crew members and 14 researchers. It is able to go to sea for at least 21 days at a time, and is designed to operate in harsh sea conditions. The vessel was commissioned to replace the RV Celtic Voyager.
