• Seismic Vessels and Design 

1. 1

Seismic vessels are ships that are solely used for the purpose of seismic survey in the high seas and oceans. A seismic vessel is used as a survey vessel for the purpose of pinpointing and locating the best possible area for oil drilling in the middle of the oceans.

The process involves a seismic detector that shoots such seismic waves to a selected underwater point. The time taken for the waves to refract back to their origin point determines whether that particular sub-sea area is feasible for the oil drilling purpose.

Atlantic Sea Bird  vessels help monitor such seismic waves. It is the primary requirement for any shipping concern engaged in or planning to engage in the process of oil and gas excavation from the oceanic reservoirs.

A seismic vessel is fitted with all technological gadgets like GPS, computers, nautical charts and any other equipment that would enhance the process of seismic survey.
