Garant Group operates research vessels MINTIS and BALTIC EXPLORER as well as mobile diving stations for various works at sea.

MINTIS and BALTIC EXPLORER are research vessels suitable for numerous operations both at sea and in port. On board, scientists research the seabed and objects on it, perform soil analysis, examine water pollution, and make markings for cable laying.

These versatile vessels participate in various international projects and commonly used for:

Cable lay
Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) support and maintenance
CPT/ Vibrocore campaigns
Cable burial and remedial burial
Seismic support
Geotechnical activities
Backfilling of trenches in shallow waters
Implementation of survey activities
Assistance during port operations and offshore wind farm construction
Dredging activities
Anchor handling
