LeeWay Odyssey

LeeWay Odyssey is a 37-metre aluminum oceanographic research vessel suited for a wide range of data collection and deployment activities.

LeeWay Odyssey is well-suited to provide a wide range of cost-effective solutions for clients. The comfortable accommodations provide an ideal platform for multi-day offshore operations and the vessel's fuel economy provides an operational endurance of 2-3 weeks. The vessel is Transport Canada certified as Near Coastal 1, meeting all safety requirements and regulations. Odyssey has a safety management system (SMS) and preventative maintenance program in place which allows the vessel to operate up to 200 nautical miles offshore. The vessel's shallow draft (2.4 m) enables excellent operational coverage near shore as well.

The vessel's dry lab space (4.9 m x 3 m) serves as the data processing centre and has server racks, as well as Cat5 distribution architecture to all cabins/work stations. There is a DGPS navigation feed and several data feed transits to the main deck from the dry lab. VSAT connectivity is available.
