ST GALLEN, Switzerland Geoquip Marine has taken delivery of the DP-2 geotechnical vessel Geoquip Seehorn.

In 2015, the Geoquip Seehorn was converted into an integrated geotechnical site investigation vessel to conduct seabed and downhole operations.

The vessel has the GMR602 derrick installed, which was said to be specially designed to allow the safe operation of wireline coring, specialist oversized coring equipment and piggy back coring as well as traditional sampling and in situ testing techniques. A dedicated launch mechanism allows a safe and quick change between drilling mode and seabed CPT mode.

It also has a dedicated soil and rock testing laboratory onboard.

This is the company’s sixth geotechnical vessel.
