Coastal & Harbour Survey Services with RGES Vessels
At RGES, we provide highly efficient coastal, harbour, and river survey solutions using versatile service vessels designed to thrive in conditions where larger ships may struggle. Our vessels are built for precision and agility, making them the ideal choice for challenging projects.
Why Choose RGES Vessels?
While larger vessels can be limited by difficult conditions, RGES vessels excel in near-shore, coastal areas where other vessels can’t operate. Our vessels continue to perform safely in swells, even when larger ships are port-bound due to weather. The key difference is in our vessels’ operational flexibility, allowing us to work in conditions where survey equipment becomes the limiting factor, not the vessel itself.
