Teknicraft is currently completing the design work of a new vessel for C & C Technologies, Inc. (C & C) of Lafayette, LA to operate in the Gulf of Mexico and off the South American coastline.

In accordance with the client's requirements it will be able to operate as a multi purpose vessel to be deployed for AUV operations, water sampling, side scan sonar and multibeam operations whilst underway. The vessel will feature a sophisticated survey laboratory that will function as the control center for data collection during each mission. Transducer wells and deployable sonar struts have been thoughtfully integrated into the hull to ensure quality data results. The vessel design features an impressive array of winches, A-frames, and cranes, and a vast aft deck to provide suitable space for AUV launch and recovery operations as well as conventional geophysical surveys.

The vessel will be registered under 100 GT for operation within USCG controlled areas, and under 500 GT for international waters. The Loadline certification is done by ABS Classification Society.
