M.V. Fugro Galaxy has been built to the highest standards demanded of a dedicated North Sea / International survey vessel. The diesel electric drive, specially designed hull, resilient engine mounts and rudder propellers maximise station keeping and navigational control while ensuring acoustically quiet running at survey speeds.
The suite of survey equipment includes hull mounted EA400 single beam echo sounder, EM710 multibeam echo sounder and Topas PS40 sub bottom profiler. Edgetech dual frequency 4200 digital sidescan sonar and towed sub-bottom profilers are also provided. A Hydroscience SeaMUX digital system, with a seismic source of 140 cu in gun array with upto 1200m HTI solid digital streamer and a HiPAP 500 USBL system are permanently mobilised. M.V. Fugro Galaxy would also be capable of supporting larger seismic sources and longer streamers if required. The vessel is fully networked to provide full plug-and play interconnectivity and has Fugro’s dual DGPS high precision Navigation systems.
The design of the vessel permits simultaneous analogue/digital survey operations and AUV operations. Geotechnical and ROVSV duties can also be undertaken. At 65 metres LOA and accommodation for 42 en suite single and double cabins the M.V. Fugro Galaxy is a comfortable and spacious vessel on which to work
