R/V «Isabu» — the first Korean expeditionary research vessel of new generation, designed with taking into account ICES Recommendations N 209
Abstract
In the end of 2016 South Korea Kingdom got newbuild expeditionary research vessel of new generation «Isabu». The ship is capable to fulfill all types of scientific and research tasks including seismic and fishing investigations. Designing and building is developed by STX Shipbuilding & Marine Construction with taking into account ICES Recommendations N 209 about reduction of ship noise. As a result, according to Norwegian DNV register the vessel had been classified as “Silent-R” class on its noise level. It allows to carry out fisheries researches using scientific echo sounder EK‑60. Design features and scientific qualities of the vessel are described.
