Sea Seeker

Sea Seeker is a survey and dive workboat built in 1981 by Richard Dunstone Ltd and certified as an IIMS Workboat 3 Cat 2 vessel, meaning she is built and equipped for operations up to 60 miles offshore. Powered by a Cummins QSL9 405MCD engine delivering 197.6 kW and a 9-knot cruising speed, she supports survey, diving and coastal project roles. A large wheelhouse, forward single cabin and main cabin accommodation for four—with WC, shower and galley—provide comfortable facilities for extended operations, supported by a full suite of navigation and communication systems.
