The Australia Telescope National Facility is not CSIRO's
only National Facility! The
RV Investigator
is Australia’s flagship ocean research vessel and supports a wide range of marine research,
from the Antarctic ice-edge to the equator.
The 94-metre vessel is capable of delivering up to 300 research days each year.
The vessel was purpose built and commissioned in 2014 and possesses a wide range
of on-board and modular laboratories and facilities.
One difference between the ATNF and the Marine National Facility is the longer
lead time for the latter: the proposal deadline in May 2023 was for grants
of sea time in the 2025/26 Financial Year!
