Long experience in fishing vessel design and multipurpose
offshore vessels, means that Rolls-Royce is capable
of designing state-of-the-art ocean research vessels.
These multifunction vessels are designed for tasks including
deep-sea ROV and AUV operations, fishing and a variety
of scientific research operations, e.g. within seismology,
geology and marine biology.

NVC 390 is a multipurpose oceanographic
research vessel equipped for deep-water operations worldwide.
Features and benefits
- Reduced in-water noise
- ROV and AUV operations
- Seabed operations (6500m)
- DP services
- Bottom coring and water sampling
- Seismic and trawling
The hull is designed for optimal fuel economy and
minimised slamming risk. Close attention is also paid
to interaction between the hull design and propellers
to moderate in-water noise sources. On board, noise
and vibration levels are effectively minimised by diesel
electric systems consisting of double resiliently mounted
diesel generator sets.
