Locally Operated with Local Needs in Mind
Owned and operated by sister company, Kiva Marine, the exploration vessel, the MV Anuanua Moana, based in the Cook Islands, illustrates how utilizing local resources and skills increases the overall efficiency of the work program, while at the same time providing local benefit.
Kiva Marine's shore-based team, supported by an able, competent, and willing crew, ensure the vessel is operated to high international standards. The crew is drawn from around the world and has built up significant experience in deep-water exploration and research operations. From simple bathymetric survey to deepwater seafloor and water column sampling, to ROV transects at 6,000m, this is all in a day’s operational work for the vessel.
