Survey
The survey section covers vessels that are equipped to conduct multple tasks including:
Hydrographic Surveys: Producing and updating Nautical chartsinformation to ensure safe navigation by military and civilian shipping.
Oceanographic research vessels carry out research on the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of water, the atmosphere and climate, and as such, are required to carry equipment for collection of water samples from a range of depths, including the deep seas, as well as equipment for hydrographic sounding of the seabed, along with numerous other environmental sensors.

Polar research vessels are constructed around an icebreaker hull, allowing them to operate in polar waters. These boats usually have dual roles, particularly in the Antarctic where they function also as polar replenishment and supply vessels to the Antarctic research bases.
