The World’s First Hydrogen-Hybrid Coastal-Class Research Vessel

UC San Diego’s  R/V Robert Gordon Sproul has faithfully served Scripps Institution of Oceanography in their mission to understand and protect the marine ecosystems along the California coast for over forty years.  Now that the Sproul is nearing the end of its service life, Scripps has hired Glosten to provide the preliminary, contract, and detail design for a new multidisciplinary research vessel that will replace the aging ship.

The coastal-class research vessel, presently known as the CCRV, will be equipped with acoustic Doppler current profilers, seafloor mapping systems, midwater fishery imaging systems, biological and geological sampling systems, and support for airborne drone operations. Using these tools, students and scientists will be able to study issues vital to the state of California in state-of-the-art, on-board laboratories.

Scripps also envisioned a vessel that would be capable of carbon-free operations and run on hydrogen power—the latter of which is yet to be achieved with an R/V. Luckily, Glosten has a history of successfully applying our naval architecture and marine engineering know-how to never-been-done-before projects with extraordinary results.
