$300 Million Ship That Scans the Deep Sea

Exploring the depths of the oceans, like a science fiction movie Well, what if we told you that it is now possible?

No, you read that right! Thanks to the combination of science and technology the mysterious world of the oceans is now becoming more accessible to us.

With the advent of oil platforms in the last century, oil extraction worldwide has increased exponentially.

Period, sonar systems and data processing supported by the use of new technologies such as. These technological developments have allowed us to better understand the behavior of the oceans and discover new resources.

Ramform Titan is a seismic vessel specifically designed to explore and map the ocean floor. This vesselespecially oil and gas exploration is used for.

70 meters wide rear section Thanks to this, seismic equipment can be pulled more stably and efficiently. These equipment include air guns, streamers, advanced navigation and positioning systems.

Titan can carry heavy machinery and crew, delivering 6,000 kilowatts of thrust with its three variable-pitch propellers.

The ship can operate on just two engines, so it does not interrupt operations during maintenance work. Using 4000 tons of steel It literally challenges the seas with its double-decked body.

Ramform Titan performs seismic surveys to detect geological structures and features on the ocean floor. through acoustic waves is examining.

The seismic streamers used in this process collect the waves reflected from the seabed and GPS data. The data obtained can be used to identify possible oil reserves or to identify interesting geological structures is processed and analyzed.

The sinusoidal waveform that extends along the length of the ship is a special choice of the designers.

This form prevents the flow of water in the ship’s hull from being interrupted and prevents the formation of vortices. Vortices are circular turbulent motions of water particles that reduce the ship’s propulsive efficiency and waste energy.

However, the length of the ship and the shape of its hull are designed to create continuous sinusoidal waves along the waterline. Thus, according to hydrodynamic theories, minimum friction on the ship and enables the ship to operate more efficiently.

The super ship Ramform Titan and other advanced systems that scan the depths of the seas are scientists on the path to discovering and understanding the oceans We wouldn’t be wrong if we said it represents the great steps taken by the country.
