Spain's latest scientific research vessel, the Odón de Buen, is set to explore the ocean's most mysterious depths.

Docked in Vigo, this state-of-the-art ship is equipped with advanced sonar technology capable of mapping the ocean floor with unprecedented precision.

The Odón, nearly 85 meters long, is designed to fill the "black holes" of unexplored ocean areas, contributing to a global initiative to map 30% of the world's ocean floors by 2030. With a capacity to reach depths greater than the Mariana Trench, the ship will provide crucial data for sustainable ocean management.

Its eco-friendly design includes a dual-fuel system that significantly reduces emissions, making it the quietest vessel in Spain's scientific fleet.

The Odón will also study seismic activity and marine life, offering insights that could influence global environmental policies.
