Rolls-Royce has decades of experience developing advanced seismic research vessels and other highly specialised offshore support vessels.
Based upon previous designs Rolls-Royce has developed a new series of vessels for seismic operations. The new NVC series with its new hull form are meeting today's standards for class and comfort.

Rolls-Royce has the expertise and technology necessary to provide clients with a design capable of tackling any offshore operation. Our customised vessels are all based on well-proven designs and provide excellent sea-keeping capabilities, life-long cost efficiency and, not least, construction-friendly despite the vessel's complexity.
