About INVESTIGATOR
RV Investigator is an Australian marine research vessel owned by the CSIRO and operated by its Marine National Facility, undertaking oceanographic, geoscience, ecosystem and fisheries research. In May 2009 the Government of Australia allocated $120 million for a new ocean-going research vessel to replace the 1972 built RV Southern Surveyor, which has served as the principal research ship for Australia's Marine National Facility since 1988. RV Investigator was designed by RALion (joint venture between Robert Allan Limited and Alion Science & Technology) and constructed in Singapore. It was transferred from Sembawang Shipyard to the delivery crew on 5 August 2014 for pre-departure testing and setup. The vessel arrived at its home port of Hobart on 9 September 2014 and was officially launched on 12 December 2014.
