C-Innovation’s multipurpose offshore vessel Dino Chouest has left Port Fourchon, Louisiana, and is on its way to Providence, Rhode Island, to support an upcoming expedition to the RMS Titanic wreck site. Scheduled for July, the 2024 Imaging and Research Expedition by RMS Titanic, Inc. aims to use high-resolution imaging technology to capture the most detailed images of the wreck site and debris field to date.
The Dino Chouest, provided by C-Innovation, a subsidiary of Edison Chouest Offshore, is equipped with remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to create a complete map of the wreck site and debris field. The expedition, led by RMST Inc., seeks to assess the current state of the wreck site and identify artifacts at risk of being lost forever. The goal is to use advanced imaging and deep-sea technologies to uncover new discoveries and shed light on the historical significance of the Titanic.
The expedition will also focus on the preservation and protection of the wreck site, engaging the global community, promoting scientific study, and inspiring future explorers. With the use of cutting-edge technology such as high-resolution cameras and special lighting, the ROVs will provide unprecedented insight into the condition of the wreck site and the risk of artifact loss. Marine Imaging Technologies, providing the highest resolution camera systems, aims to offer new insights into the iconic shipwreck.
