This vessel is the successor of Glomar Challenger. The ship was launched as Sedco/BP 471, an oil exploration vessel. This vessel was later converted for scientific use and began working for the ODP in January 1985. JOIDES Resolution returned to active service in February 2009 following an extensive renovation of her laboratory facilities and crew quarters.
