Voyage summary

Transit voyage from Singapore to Hobart to return RV Investigator to its home port following scheduled dry docking, maintenance and middle of life refit works. No scientific research will be conducted during the transit.

Various testing and commissioning of systems will be conducted during the voyage, and underway data systems and other instrumentation shut down during the transit to Singapore will progressively be switched back on.

The maintenance schedule for the vessel requires a dry docking to be conducted every 5 years to carry out ship surveys (to meet class requirements) and for major maintenance tasks. Dry docking also provides the opportunity to undertake equipment, system and infrastructure upgrades and a middle of life refit (Mid-Life Refit) project will commence for the vessel at this time. The Mid-Life Refit project will ensure that RV Investigator continues to provide world-leading research capabilities that enable Australia to conduct vital ocean and atmospheric science in our region.

The Mid-Life Refit project will continue when RV Investigator returns to its home port of Hobart, with works to be undertaken both in the short term and across upcoming voyage schedules. These works will be informed through ongoing consultation with the scientific community on the suggested upgrades to best meet Australia's marine and atmospheric research needs.
