Client Accommodations

The accommodations currently provide for up to 49 survey crew and associated staff, and  ships crew for a total berthing compliment of 60 fully occupied. The one person accommodations have private heads and shower. The two-person spaces have a sink with a community shower and headspace. Every space has access to the data network, a phone and a hookup for a TV ââ?¬â?? shipboard network. A VIP stateroom is provided for a client representative and/or project coordinator.

All staterooms have beautiful wood furnishings. Each space, where possible has a desk, and where not possible, there is a wall desk installed. The architect and the owners have worked very hard at reducing the ââ?¬Å?work shipââ?¬ï¿½ atmosphere in that they have designed each living space to have more open space throughout the ship.

The lounge and meeting center was designed to maximize comfort for the crew while off watch or provide managers a place to discuss operation matters privately. Found here is an entertainment system that offers the crew a place to watch DVD/VCR movies or satellite TV. Also, the meeting center can be used to host executive level meetings, utilizing the entertainment center to playback important sub sea footage or link up to the data communications network to review data.

A new galley and mess has been installed along with new ovens, grills, chiller, and freezer on the Main Deck. These new facilities have been designed to maximize crew comfort during meal hours and provide a location for meeting or impromptu gatherings. Meals will be served 4 times daily at sea and 3 times daily in port.

The global ship-class on-board communications systems are state-of-the-art, and far more sophisticated than most superyachts, reflecting her recent life as a home and office for globe-trotting scientists.

The networks (A&B) can both be tied to the ships navigation or the customer�s navigation package. Conversely, both networks can be separated from the ships navigation. The Data Network and CATV Center space will house the ships server that will communicate via a 100 baseT network to all spaces on the ship. This network and the customer�s network obtain their powering through a ltered UPS system capable of a twenty-minute battery cycle if necessary.

The CATV center supports modulated RF signals on separate TV channels from a DVD(s) and VHS players, plus video feeds from the on-ship video cameras. The ship TV system will be available at each station where there is an outlet. There will also be an audio override linked to each modulator which will be activated during a ships general announcement or other emergency announcements.

The aft data center has the capability to link directly to the ships mast, through a dedicated RF cable, enabling the customer to install an antenna of their choice, providing a secure (not through the ship network) communications feed or data input from off- ship resources.

The ships phone network switch is installed on the Main Deck, on the Port side forward of the galley. New multi-pair CAT-5 wire has been installed for this system with over eighty- ve outlets serving all critical spaces on the ship.

The off-ship communications via satellite can be programmed for access per phone number, eliminating unwanted charges during a project. Access will also be timed, or programmed for certain hours each day, or programmed to accept incoming ship communications 24 hours a day.
