Sporting a pair of cutting-edge Volvo IPS drives, BRIX Marine’s 4216-CTC was honored as one of International WorkBoat’s 10 Significant Boats of 2019. Ideal for a wide range of scientific activities, educational research, and instrument development, this vessel boasts a 5000lb A-frame for lifting and towing, an articulating knuckle crane for starboard-side instrument deployment and recovery, and engineered deck sockets for securing portable equipment. A dynamic positioning system (DPS) automatically maintains heading and position, even in strong currents and windy conditions. These capabilities enable the precise control required for remotely operated vehicles, CTD casts, mooring deployments, and other operations.
