R/V Nautilus

TDI-Brooks has expanded its fleet by incorporating the R/V NAUTILUS , thereby increasing its vessel capacity. The R/V NAUTILUS is a DP2 vessel that was built in 2000 and measures 75 meters in length. After undergoing a 6-month retrofit period in Las Palmas, the vessel is equipped with the newly-acquired Geomil Manta-200 CPT, which can be deployed through the R/V NAUTILUS mid-ship moonpool. The system has the capability to penetrate the soil up to 40-50 meters, depending on its composition.

The vessel provides a wide range of offshore support, including subsea services, construction assistance, exploration, production, AUV, ROV, and diving support. It also caters to military operations, scientific marine research, and survey mapping.

The R/V NAUTILUS is a highly adaptable vessel equipped with various features and tools. It has a North American MCK-1240 upper forecastle deck on the starboard side, which includes a SWL 7.1-ton crane. Additionally, the vessel offers spacious accommodation with 46 berths and a large deck capacity.

In addition to these tools, the R/V NAUTILUS is equipped with Geomil Manta-200 CPT, Neptune 3K & 5K vibracorers, and a specially designed pneumatic vibracorer engineered and fabricated by TDI-Brooks. These tools enable efficient and accurate geotechnical surveys and sampling.

To facilitate comprehensive surveys, the R/V NAUTILUS is equipped with a Teledyne RESON full ocean depth multibeam echosounder (MBES). It is particularly useful for conducting hydrographic marine surveys, surface geochemical “seep-hunting” (SGE), and seabed heatflow surveys (HF).

The R/V NAUTILUS is operated within a robust Safety Management System and all vessels are regularly vetted by client marine assurance groups and a part of the OCIMF Offshore Vessel Inspection Database (OVID).

The R/V NAUTILUS uses Starlink Maritime, a satellite internet service from SpaceX, to provide high-speed, unlimited connectivity at sea. With over 2,400 satellites in orbit, the service offers download speeds of 60-150 Mbps and upload speeds of 10-20 Mbps to maritime vessels.
