TDI-Brooks' New Dynamic Positioning Vessel Reaches the US East Coast2024-03-08T10:41:30-05:002024-03-08T10:41:30-05:00https://www.oceannews.com/news/science-and-tech/tdi-brooks-latest-dynamic-positioning-dp-vessel-the-rv-nautilus-has-reached-the-shores-of-the-east-coast-of-the-united-statesON&Tadmin@tscstrategic.com<p><img src="https://www.oceannews.com/images/webnews/2024/March/tdi-brooks-new-dp-vessel.jpg" /></p><p>TDI-Brooks' latest dynamic positioning (DP) vessel, the RV <em>NAUTILUS</em>, has reached the shores of the East Coast of the United States. The DP2 vessel RV <em>NAUTILUS</em> from TDI-Brooks, with a length of 75 meters and built in 2000, arrived at the US East Coast on March 3, 2024. After undergoing a 6-month retrofit in Las Palmas, the vessel will provide support for offshore wind projects and various other subsea needs. It is equipped with advanced technology, including a Geomil Manta-200 CPT that can be deployed through the mid-ship moonpool of NAUTILUS. This system can penetrate the soil up to 40-50 meters, depending on its composition, to determine the soil's exact makeup. This data is crucial for identifying the best location and design for offshore developments like wind farms. The offshore renewable energy sector is expanding rapidly, resulting in a high demand for TDI's services on both the US East and West Coasts.</p>
