Research Vessel OverviewR/V DOKDONURI
The Dokdo Nuri was built for the purpose of conducting marine surveys in the waters around Ulleungdo and Dokdo, and its name means “to navigate around the island.”
Main Projects
- Investigation of marine life and marine environment around Ulleungdo and Dokdo
- Exploration of ocean circulation and climate (marine meteorology) and investigation of current characteristics
- Collection of seabed geological resources and seawater by water layer

R/V Jangmok No.2Navigation and Communication Equipment

A device for controlling a water jet engine in various modes (Joystick Mode, NFU Mode, etc.)

A device that transmits, receives, and displays navigation information of the vessel and other ships in real time

A device that receives satellite signals and displays the vessel’s heading

Electronic chart equipment

A device similar to an electronic chart that displays the position of a ship

A device that detects targets based on the transmission and receipt of electromagnetic waves

A device used for communication between ships by transmitting and receiving microwaves
R/V DokdonuriResearch Equipment

Device installed on basic research vessels to continuously monitor surface water temperature and salinity based on differences in the speed of sound waves emitted and received by the device while the research vessel is in operation

Device for measuring the speed and size of ocean currents in each water layer based on the frequency shift of sound waves emitted by the device and reflected back to it (Doppler effect)

This device can accurately measure the depth of the seabed by emitting and receiving sound waves to the seabed.

Device for measuring the vertical structure of the temperature and electrical conductivity of seawater by depth
R/V Jangmok No.2Research Support Equipment

Device that raises/lowers CTD equipment from/to the water surface using a wire cable

Device that raises/lowers various exploration equipment, such as GRAB and NET, from/to the water surface using a wire cable

Device for refilling divers’ oxygen tanks

Device that moves exploration equipment between the ship and water

Equipment used by divers to board and disembark from the vessel
