The SAR FAME (IMO: 9111759) is a highly specialized research and survey vessel that has spent over three decades serving the global maritime and offshore industries. Originally built in 1995 by Italthai Marine in Thailand, this 75-meter-long ship boasts a gross tonnage of nearly 3,000 tons and has adapted to numerous commercial roles under previous names like Havila Fame and Ocean Sea. Currently flying the flag of the Bahamas and managed by Norway's Hoyland Offshore AS, the vessel is frequently deployed for complex underwater surveying, mapping, and research operations. In recent years, it has been particularly active in the strategically vital waters of the Black Sea and the Mediterranean, regularly executing port calls in Romania and Bulgaria to support regional marine research and offshore energy infrastructure.
