The marketing manager of the company, Guillermo Freire, explains to EFE that the "Discovery" is "the most advanced ocean graphic vessel that could be found in market", because it includes "last technological advances", which turn it into "a worldwide reference".
It is equipped with six laboratories: the main one, one for multiple aims, another on deck, one chemical, another environmental and the last one bioluminescence, apart from a salinity measurement room and a main hangar.
All this technology turn it into a research platform about the most important environment problems and about the oceans roll in the climate change, the submarine landslide cartography and earthquakes and the study of unique and unknown ecosystems.
Guillermo Freire considers "good luck" to receive this order just before the naval crisis worsening, because it allows maintaining workload until next year.
