The TOM CREAN calling in Lorient

Commissioned in 2022 and sailing under the Irish flag, this state-of-the-art vessel, chartered by Ifremer, can accommodate up to 26 people, including 14 scientists.

Versatile and high-performing, the TOM CREAN is a multi-mission vessel used by public organizations and universities for :

🔹 fisheries research (stock assessment)
🔹 oceanography and climate studies
🔹 seabed mapping
🔹 environmental monitoring
🔹 deployment of scientific equipment (buoys, sensors, ROVs, AUVs)

It is also recognized as one of the quietest research vessels in the world, ensuring high-quality observations.
The vessel pays tribute to Tom Crean, the renowned Irish explorer who took part in several major Antarctic expeditions in the early 20th century.
