Damen Shiprepair Vlissingen (DSV) has signed a contract to outfit the research and expedition vessel REV Ocean. The work includes both internal and external elements of the vessel and will be carried out in DSV's covered dock. The giant 194.4 m long and 22 m wide vessel is designed for integrated research of the marine ecosystem—from coastal zones to deep waters, from polar regions to the tropics. REV Ocean will become a new standard in the industry with its advanced technology and state-of-the-art research laboratories.
