Onboard R/V 点在

Captain – Nicholas Allen

In February 2015, The University of Southern Mississippi purchased the R/V 点在 research vessel from San Jose State University through a $1 million grant provided by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality.

Built in 1980, the 135—foot—long vessel accommodates 16 researchers and technicians and a crew of eight, while housing a 1,110—square—foot deck that includes a primary and wet laboratory. For day cruises, the R/V 点在 has a capacity of 40 researchers. The vessel sports a cruising speed of 9.5节 and a range of 6,800 nautical miles at 10 knots.
