Fleet Overview

For over 27 years, TDI-Brooks has stood at the forefront of oceanographic research, chartering and operating an impressive fleet of six state-of-the-art research vessels.

Our fleet, designed to tackle a wide range of oceanographic research tasks, includes the R/V Brooks McCall, R/V Miss Emma McCall,  R/V Proteus, R/V Gyre, and the latest addition, R/V Nautilus.

 JONES ACT COMPLIANT VESSELS

VANUATU FLAGGED VESSELS

DP2 VESSEL – “NEW TO THE FLEET” 

The R/V Brooks McCall and R/V Miss Emma McCall, all American-registered, comply fully with the Jones Act, operating mainly in the Gulf of Mexico, along the US East Coast, and in Mexico. The R/V Proteus, R/V Gyre, and R/V Nautilus are Vanuatu-registered and adhere to SOLAS regulations, serving primarily in the Mediterranean, North/West Africa, Mexico, and Northern South America.

The DP2 vessel, Nautilus, sets a new benchmark in our fleet, being equipped with an exhaustive geotechnical tool kit for sophisticated soil sampling and measurement. The vessel houses a hull-mounted Kongsberg EM-710 (1x1) multibeam echo-sounder system (MBES), offering us the ability to map depths of up to ~2,500 meters. This blend of innovative tools and capabilities allows us to undertake detailed and precise underwater studies.

To ensure seamless communication, TDI-Brooks has incorporated the StarLink Maritime platform across all vessels, reinforced with redundant VSAT capabilities. Our emphasis on stringent safety is reflected in our robust, approved Safety Management System, prioritizing crew and client safety above all else. This commitment is further reinforced by regular vessel assessments from client marine assurance groups and inclusion in the OCIMF Offshore Vessel Inspection Database (OVID).

With a proven track record and exceptional capabilities, TDI-Brooks remains a preferred choice for fulfilling oceanographic research needs.
