Originally built in 2006, this 63’ aluminum catamaran was purchased by Marine Imaging in 2025 and is currently undergoing modifications before starting her new life as a survey vessel.

When fully staffed and provisioned for 24 hour survey operations Precision carries a research team of six scientists and technicians and a vessel crew of four operating on 12 hour shifts and can remain offshore for five days.

The Control Room features an 8’ x 30” counter with two designated work stations, each station having the option of multiple monitors, and ample project storage.

The aft deck has 310 sq feet of working space with a removable center transom section. The twin dive platforms flank the A-Frame crane and are accessed from doors in the transom.

The hydraulic A-frame crane, installed in 2025 on the aft deck, has three load points and a total lifting capacity of 3,000 lbs. It’s range extends from 3’ on deck to 6’ aft of the transom.

The side mount instrument pole is located on the starboard side and is rated for a single instrument of up to 100 lbs. When deployed the pole extends 2’ below the hull.

The accommodations onboard Precision include ten berths, two heads, two showers and a fully equipped galley. Each of the two staterooms include air conditioning, privacy curtains and personal storage.

Precision has an independent hydraulic thruster system for station keeping. Sleipner 10” thrusters are located in the bow and stern of each hull, arranged in a vector formation and powered by an independent Caterpillar engine. Each thruster is capable of generating 528 lbs of thrust. The four thrusters are control JPOS Dynamic Positioning controller, allowing the vessel to hold station in all operational conditions.
