First Purpose-Built EM Survey Vessel

Terje Eidesmo, EMGS chief executive officer, commented, "This vessel is a product of more than a decade of experience from more than 400 surveys and 120 vessel months across the world's mature and frontier offshore basins. The introduction of this high-capacity vessel is a milestone for EMGS and our customers, as it will lead the way in a new-generation technology - 3D EM surveying."

A fully integrated spare equipment set and a new advanced on-board processing system will enhance the quality and improve the delivery time for EM data.

"Quality, health, safety and environment standards are fundamental to all that we do at EMGS, and have been an integral part of the vessel's design process. This will be a safe and pleasant workplace for our crew and client representatives," said Eidesmo. The vessel's features include sheltered deck and work spaces, a cinema, a helicopter deck, a hospital ward, conference facilities, a gym and modern workstations with broadband connection.
