Ramform Titan is a marine seismic acquisition vessel built in 2013 by the MHI shipyard in Nagasaki, Japan. Its breadth at the stern is 70 meters (230 ft), while the length isn't much greater at 104.2 meters (341 ft 10 in), This qualifies the vessel's status of "the widest ship in the world at the waterline". It is operated by Norwegian company Petroleum Geo-Services (PGS) and is used for 3D seismic data acquisition.
The ship is equipped with 24 hydrophone streamer reels in two rows, with 16 reels astern, and eight further forward. It is able to tow a network of sensors over an area greater than 12 square kilometers (4.6 sq miles). The vessel can accommodate up to 80 crew plus visitors.
