RV HENRY HUDSON
The 45’ Henry Hudson is designed to combine flexibility and comfort in a shallow water survey vessel.
Configured for 12 hour operations, and capable of both transiting at high speeds and operating efficiently at survey speeds, the vessel boasts ample data acquisition space in its main cabin.
The design of the vessel allows for the flexibility of collecting geophysical data from multiple systems while still being able to switch over to a sampling configuration.
The Henry Hudson’s spacious back deck features an a-frame, side davit, two dedicated over the side pole mounts and one bow mount for equipment installation, and two survey winches.
