Wide-Angle shot of the R/V Bank of Bermuda Atlantic Explorer, a research ship opperated by the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Research. R/V ATLANTIC EXPLORER is owned and operated by the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences, Inc. in compliance with U.S. Coast Guard, UNOLS and American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) regulations as an uninspected oceanographic research vessel. The Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences, Inc. (BIOS) was originally established in Bermuda in 1903 as the Bermuda Biological Station for Research, Inc. and is a U.S. non-profit research and educational institution. BIOS's mission is threefold: to conduct research of the highest quality from the special perspective of a mid-ocean island, to educate future scientists, and to provide well-equipped facilities and responsive staff support for resident scientific staff, visiting scientists, faculty and students from all around the world. In support of BIOS's mission, the ATLANTIC EXPLORER is set up and operated as a general purpose oceanographic research vessel. Ready access from Bermuda to the deep ocean makes ATLANTIC EXPLORER ideal for short and extended cruises, for repetitive sampling and time series at the same station, and for all projects requiring analytical and other sophisticated shore facilities. Bermuda is 2 hours flying time from the U.S. east coast, and is served by daily flights from most U.S. gateway cities. ATLANTIC EXPLORER is equipped with navigational, laboratory and mechanical facilities to support biological, geological, chemical and physical oceanographic research. Deploying and recovering deep ocean instrumentation moorings, conducting CTD casts, chemical sampling, and gear testing are among the number of operations within the ship's capabilities.
