SURVEY VESSELS

Designed with utility in mind, this 24’ survey vessel sports heavy duty engine guards, roof mounted davit, four-point lifting eyes, D-rubber rub strakes, and extended push knees. The hallmark of this vessel however is the BRIX Marine HYPR arm mounted on the bow, from which a sonar head can be effortlessly lowered into the water from the comfort of a climate-controlled cabin.

Small enough to be highly maneuverable, yet large enough to accommodate your team and equipment, the 3011-CTC is an ideal vessel for surveying in near shore situations. Outfitted with a davit, engine guards, and stern mounted A-frame, cargo can be deployed and retrieved through either the port side boarding door or the walk-through T-transom. Ergonomic workstations and an onboard head inside the cabin keep scientists comfortable, as racks hold sensitive gear secured and stable.

When retrieving samples or gear from the water, sterndrives are excellent at staying out of the way. Combined with a swim step and an A-frame mounted on the transom, scientists can work alongside their payload without fear of colliding with an outboard’s upper unit. A “moon pool” on the aft deck of this 32’ vessel allows survey equipment to be lowered into the isolated water between the catamaran’s twin hulls, providing accurate readings and measurements. Inside the cabin, a head, small galley, workstations, and berths for two enable longer trips at sea, and less time away from the survey zone.

The 3513-CTC platform offers a spacious aft deck for various scientific operations and equipment while still maintaining ample indoor cabin space for workstations, electronics, and storage.

This BRIX Marine reverse chine monohull (RCM) features customizations that are well-suited for the deployment and retrieval of fishing and oceanographic sampling gear. A hydraulic A-frame easily hauls equipment over the full-width work platform at the transom, and a pair of twin Volvo D6 330hp Aquamatic outdrives with bow thruster and joystick controls ensure superior maneuverability during research operations. Inside the heated full-width cabin there are plenty of accommodations such as shock-mitigating seats, sleeping bunks, a full head with shower, galley, and scientific worktops.

Sporting a pair of cutting-edge Volvo IPS drives, BRIX Marine’s 4216-CTC was honored as one of International WorkBoat’s 10 Significant Boats of 2019. Ideal for a wide range of scientific activities, educational research, and instrument development, this vessel boasts a 5000lb A-frame for lifting and towing, an articulating knuckle crane for starboard-side instrument deployment and recovery, and engineered deck sockets for securing portable equipment. A dynamic positioning system (DPS) automatically maintains heading and position, even in strong currents and windy conditions. These capabilities enable the precise control required for remotely operated vehicles, CTD casts, mooring deployments, and other operations.

The 4416-CTC features a full-width cabin with flybridge, large aft working deck, open transom, 2 swim platforms, and a removable launch platform. Deck equipment includes a hydraulic A-frame with hydraulic winch, a knuckle boom crane, and 30 tie-down points for securing equipment. Designed to accommodate overnights, the heated cabin includes a V berth in the forward cuddy, a port side workstation with ample counter space, and a fold out table with flip down bench seats on the starboard side to maximize the cabin’s usable space.
