A full package of equipment and systems, including a diesel-electric propulsion system powered by Bergen B33:45 engines will be supplied.

Handling systems on board will include subsea acoustic survey, towing of scientific equipment, and deploying equipment over the side down to a depth of 9,000m.
A stern and side A-frame will enable the deployment of other systems, while on-board laboratories will allow prompt analysis of samples gathered.
In its supply vessel mode, the RRS Sir David Attenborough will be able to transport fuels and containerised cargo, and operate two small helicopters.
An endurance of up to 60 days in sea-ice will enable scientists to gather more observations and data.
The vessel will be used as a platform for a broad range of science, researching subjects from oceanography and marine ecology to geophysics.
Robotic submarines and marine gliders will collect data on ocean conditions and marine biology and deliver it to scientists working in the ship’s on-board laboratories.
Airborne robots and on-board environmental monitoring systems will provide detailed information on the surrounding polar environment.

It is a grim situation that many seafarers will be all too familiar with. Over the past decade, denial of shore leave – defined as the period during which sailors are allowed to leave a ship docked at port – has become a major problem for foreign crews in the shipping industry.
