R/V Oceanus Boats

Particulars

Type: RIB
Length: 15.5 feet
Power: 40 HP long-shaft outboard motor

The boat is available for use by scientific programs for personnel transfer and for general utility work. Gasoline for the motor is always carried aboard the ship. Its size requires that considerable clear space be provided on the Main Deck for this purpose. The boat is operated by a member of the ship’s crew.

An additional Achilles inflatable boat suitable for diving operations is warehoused at WHOI and may be requested.

The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is dedicated to advancing knowledge of the ocean and its connection with the Earth system through a sustained commitment to excellence in science, engineering, and education, and to the application of this knowledge to problems facing society. Learn more �
