Currently, the construction of a 100-meter explorer-style research ship RV6000 is underway. As estimated by Luxurylaunches, the vessel costs about $300 million, which makes the ship one of the most expensive research vessels.
According to a report by SuperYacht Times, RV6000 features modern laboratories, workshops, offices, and such comfort-oriented facilities as premium accommodation and recreational spaces. The ship can support up to 70 scientists and operates on low noise and vibration levels.
