Notes [1] [2]

Ramform Titan is a marine seismic acquisition vessel built in 2013 by the MHI shipyard in Nagasaki, Japan. Its width at the stern is 70 m (230 ft), [1] making it the widest class of ships in the world [3] (T/T Nanny [4] previously exceeded this with a beam of 79 m before being broken up in 2003).

The Ramform class of ships was developed by PGS, before the company merged with TGS in 2024. [5] PGS built three other Titan-class vessels after Ramform Titan: [6] Ramform Atlas, [7] Ramform Hyperion, [8] and Ramform Tethys. [9]
