Hydrographic Survey Vessels (HSVs)
Times are changing, and so are we. Our clients call for hydrographic survey ships built for both commercial and demanding naval tasks. To achieve this, we deliver solutions that draw on proven technology and are tailored to their specific requirements.. Drawing on decades of experience with survey platforms, we design vessels that combine high operational effectiveness with flexibility for offshore work, from rapid environmental assessments to detailed bathymetry. By approaching each project from multiple perspectives, we deliver a cost effective vessel that is ready for today’s missions and adaptable to future challenges.
A selection of tailor-made HSVs
The Vietnam People’s Navy required its first modern hydrographic survey vessel to map national waters, support oceanographic research and operate for extended periods in shallow coastal waters and monsoonal conditions. We provided a proven HSV 6613 design and our Damen Technical Cooperation (DTC) model, enabling local construction at the Song Thu Corporation shipyard with knowledge transfer and a materials package from Damen.
