The Kavoshgare Darya'ie Khalije Fars (Persian Gulf Sea Explorer) is a hydrographic and oceanographic research vessel built in 2017 by the Iranian Defense Ministry's Marine Industries Organization for the Iranian National Institute for Oceanography and Atmospheric Science.[1][2] The vessel is equipped with satellite communications, advanced CCP propulsion, and data transfer systems, and the DP system for dynamic stabilization. The vessel is also equipped with 3 laboratories and 2 freezers, and offers numerous applications in the field of physical oceanography, marine chemistry, marine biology, geology, sea geophysics, and professional climatology including atmospheric and meteorological explorations in addition to sea mapping. As many as 85 mechanical, mobility, propulsion, electrical and electronics, navigation and telecommunication systems are embedded in the vessel. A total of 150 industrial, research, academic and knowledge-based centers as well as various industrial organizations spent more than 300,000 hours and carried out about 12,000 administrative activities in order to construct the ship.
