JMS Naval Architects has completed the concept design of a 125-foot (38-metre) Gulf Coast research vessel for Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium (LUMCON).

JMS was competitively awarded a contract from LUMCON to provide concept through contract-level design, shipyard bid support, and owner’s representative services for the new vessel, which will replace the consortium’s 35-year-old Pelican.

JMS said the contract design and shipyard solicitation will be ready in the latter half of 2022.
