1998-

Built in Kitakyushu, she is powered by one 1200hp Niigata diesel, and has accommodation for twelve passengers.

She was purchased from Japan and arrived in Wellington on 1 August 1998.

She has been involved in numerous research projects since, with such exotic locations as Raoul Island, the Chatham Islands, the Falklands Islands, Easter Island, Pitcairn Island, Campbell Island and the Ross Ice Shelf among the places where her activities have taken her.

Her visit to Onehunga was for something far less exotic - to survey the route for a planned offshore fibre-optic communications cable between Onehunga and Christchurch, to be operated by Telstra Saturn and become the backbone of a $NZ 1.2 billion local network between Auckland and Christchurch. She was operating under charter to Seaworks Ltd while doing this work.

She has her own website, found here.
