RV MTA Oruç Reis

The RV MTA Oruç Reis is a Turkish research vessel owned by the General Directorate of Mineral Research and Exploration (MTA) in Ankara and operated by its division of Geophysical Directorate for subsea geophysical exploration in shallow waters. She was launched on March 28, 2015, and was named for Oruç Reis (c. 1474–1518), the Ottoman Beylerbeyi of the West Mediterranean. Following the completion of tests and acceptance activities in April 2017, she was commissioned to explore petroleum in the Mediterranean Sea. She is capable of performing geophysical survey and 3D sampling at the seabed in a depth up to 20,000 m (66,000 ft). The vessel features a remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV), which can perform observations and sampling at a depth up to 1,500 m (4,900 ft). Additional equipment allows survey of ocean current and analysis of physical, chemical and biological properties with the help of a CTD device for conductivity, temperature and depth. The vessel features a 12 t-capacity helipad for a helicopter suitable for day/night landing and take off.
