The CERES launch allows rapid and punctual interventions in the area, as well as heavier and longer operations. This feature is essential in areas exposed to swell and winds, where responsiveness is paramount. Indeed, weather windows must be exploited as well as possible, in particular for geophysical and geotechnical studies where the quality of the results is directly linked to the sea state.

SIRIUS IV SURVEY VESSEL

SIRIUS IV is the latest vessel acquired by CERES. It is primarily dedicated to water sampling and UXO surveys, both offshore and on rivers and lakes. Its speed enables rapid deployment to the areas selected by the operator.

SIRIUS IV provides a sheltered working environment at sea, protected from spray, allowing the IT equipment required for the various survey missions to be installed safely. Particularly stable, SIRIUS IV offers long endurance through its fixed aluminium fuel tank and additional tanks. A dedicated ladder facilitates diver access to the water.

Features

Length: 6.50 m Width: 2.35 m Maximum speed: 30 knots Cruising speed: 20 knots Draught: 0.7 m Capacity: 6 persons Maximum payload: 915 kg Main engine: Suzuki 150 hp Auxiliary engine: Suzuki 9.9 hp Endurance: 12 h

Its davit and electric winch facilitate water and sediment sampling. Easily transported on its trailer, SIRIUS IV can be rapidly mobilised throughout France.

The Pioner Multi is a "utility boat" enabling the CERES team to respond to markets where the height of the water, the proximity of the coastline and/or the space of the working area do not allow the catamaran to be mobilised.
In addition to the advantage of its access ramp, this vessel has a large internal capacity and also a high load capacity.
Particularly stable, the Sirius II, allows to carry out all kinds of oceanographic campaigns, but also to mobilize divers easily.
Thanks to its forward ramp, access to the water is facilitated for diving operations. Easily transportable, the SIRIUS II can be quickly mobilized throughout France.​
