That would be Marjata. The RNoN will appreciate that you called it a research ship… 😉

The Marjata hull design serves three strategic purposes, each of which are perfectly suited to marine seismic acquisition:

Minimal vessel noise enters the water, providing a “stealth” technology
A seismic acquisition experiment desires the recording of only the seismic energy reflected back from the geological strata in the Earth. Interference noise from the vessel is an historical problem in the seismic industry
The wide back deck provides an extremely flexible and safe platform for deploying equipment, personnel, and machinery (including helicopters)
The hull design allows 20 full streamer reels to be maintained across the back deck, enabling safe and efficient handling, deployment, and towing with unmatched flexibility. Streamers can be towed at separations between 37.5 and 150.0 meters
The vessel stability is excellent at the stern, providing minimal pitch and roll
Vessel movements are negligible, avoiding “tugging” on the towing equipment. Vessel tug is an establish source of unwanted noise problems on standard vessels. Due to the Ramform vessel stability, very large numbers of streamers can be deployed at very close separations, without the classical risks of handling and towing problems
