Main activity
Multi-disciplinary deep-sea vessel, 107.6m long, capable of sailing in all oceans. Deep-sea and coastal hydrography with deployment of hydrographic survey launches. Exploration of the water column and currents. Underwater mapping using sonar and description of the sub-soil (seismic, gravimetric, magnetic). Multi-level study of physical, biological or geological processes. Site reconnaissance using acoustics, deploying: towed acoustic systems (TAS), remotely operated systems (Victor 6000) or independent systems (Nautile), positioning heavy gear close to the sea bed by cable (Penfeld). Collecting and analysing samples of water, living material, sediment or rocks (core boring, dredging). Deploying the navy's Newtsuit system to assist submarines in difficulty.
