Seabed Constructor is a multipurpose offshore vessel contracted since December 2016 to British-owned hydrographic survey company Ocean Infinity, based in Houston, USA.[1][2] Previously known as Olympic Athene and originally Olympic Boa, the ship was launched in 2013 and is flagged in Norway.[3] The ship is designed to conduct geophysical and geotechnical surveys of the seabed, support the construction or demolition of underwater structures, conduct trenching and excavation operations, and serve as a ROV platform for the company's autonomous underwater vehicles and unmanned surface vehicles. The ship is 114 metres (374 ft) in length, with a 22 metres (72 ft) beam, a gross tonnage of 7,883, and deadweight tonnage of 6,480 metric tons. Its maximum speed is 14.1 knots (16.2 mph; 26.1 km/h).[4]
Seabed Constructor participated in the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.[5][6] It was operated by Ocean Infinity on a 90-day search contract for the missing aircraft; the mission ended unsuccessfully in mid-June 2018.[7]
Seabed Constructor was then contracted by the Argentine Navy to search for the missing ARA San Juan submarine. On November 17, 2018, Seabed Constructor found San Juan a year and two days after the submarine's disappearance. The submarine lies on the seabed at a depth of 920 metres (3,020 ft) below sea level.[8]
