Our Mission
What do we want to achieve
ORI’s mission is to explore the Ocean to reveal its secrets for the benefit of humankind, and to inspire a new generation of explorers. We join other Ocean science pioneers to understand the Ocean, and help open a new era of commitment to preserving Earth’s integrated systems. And we actively promote the direct engagement of tomorrow’s future scientists with ORI’s programs.
our difference
Our flagship
We are clean. Our vessels use 100% renewable energy with zero carbon and acoustic emissions. We are sustainable. Our wooden Flagship, ‘La Bohème’, is fully renewable with a 200-year lifespan, up to ten times longer than steel research vessels. We are limitless. We can cross any ocean on sunlight or sail to anywhere on earth, with no fuel stops. When the wind drops or a tight harbour appears, our powerful motors are fuelled by solar, wind and hydro.
