FLIP will be a crucial asset in the DEEP fleet, offering a unique platform for ocean research. It will also support the deployment of DEEP’s Sentinel habitats, enhancing their extended research network. FLIP was transported from Mexico to La Ciotat, France where it will undergo a comprehensive 12 to 18 month long refit.
