  • Seismic survey vessels
    Patent number: 6216627
    Abstract: A seismic survey vessel having a displacement monohull is provided with a streamer deck which width increases progressively from amidships towards the stern of the vessel, on both sides of the centerline of the vessel. This increased width of the streamer deck, reaching 37.5 meters at the stern, facilitates the deployment and towing of particularly wide streamer arrays, containing as many as sixteen streamers. It also provides space for the installation of novel streamer handling systems, one for each streamer, across the width of the rear of the streamer deck.
