Research Vessels

In March, 2007, McGregor GeoScience Limited was purchased by Superport Marine Services Limited of Port Hawkesbury, NS.  The new ownership, while bringing an increased level of investment in the capabilities of McGregor has also provided access to a range of personnel and equipment resources that has served to expand our capabilities to our client base.  McGregor can now boast access to dedicated survey vessels, the R/V Strait Signet and R/V Strait Explorer, shown below.
