LE SUROIT, built in 1975, was modernized in 1999. The overhaul of the ship
provided an opportunity to totally upgrade all its scientific equipment. The
performances of this equipment are consistent with requirements for refocused
cruises on the continental shelf, to the bottom of the slope, limited to depths
of 4000/4500 m.
Since her upgrade, the following operations can be carried out on board:
- high resolution and very high resolution seismic,
- coring, dredging, beam trawling,
- bathysounder/hydrology,
- deployment of the SAR, PASISAR,
- anchoring, work on station.
