With a SWATH hull form and shallow 4.5' draft, R/V Pricus delivers full open-ocean surveying capability while offering greater stability, fewer weather delays, and increased comfort over comparable vessels with conventional hulls. Proven on multi-day deep ocean missions, SWATH crafts have successfully conducted operations in sea state 5 and gale-force conditions, proving the utility of R/V Pricus as an ideal research platform for heavy seas, bad weather, and iffy stomachs.

Operating area: Mid-Atlantic, USA
