The TEKNIK PUTRA is a purpose built survey vessel used to perform geophysical and general survey operations. The vessel is typically deployed onto pipeline and cable route survey contracts, but also used for geophysical site and hydrographics surveys, Vibro coring and shallow geotechnical sampling surveys.

It is one of five owned and operated by TL Geohydrographics throughout the Asia Pacific region. The vessel is fitted with a 105m x 105m square moon pool located forward of the accommodation, through Multi Beam and various survey sensors can be deployed. A 10 tonne hydraulic Luffing 'A' frame is fitted at the stern.

Instruments can be towed and deployed from a 10 tonne oceanographic winch at the main deck.

The winch is fitted with electrical slip rings and can accommodate approximately 4500 metres of oceanographic or sidescan sonar cable. The vessel is outfitted as standard with precision DGPS positioning, SG Brown 1000S survey gyro, Sonardyne LUSBL acoustic positioning system, and ODOM DF 3200 MKII Survey Echo Sounder. A suite of sonar and seismic equipment is fitted as required. A Survey Instrument Room of approximately 20 m² is located adjacent to the main deck at the stern.

This room is typically outfitted with survey equipment for online survey data acquisition. A survey post processing room of approximately 100 m²  is located forward on the lower deck. There is approximately 70 m² of free deck space available on the aft main deck, and approximately 50 m² forward. The main processing room forward has a large hatch through which standard 20 foot containers can pass.

The TEKNIK PUTRA has capacity for 80 tonnes of fuel and 44 tonnes of fresh water. A water maker produces up to 8 tonnes per day. Typical endurance is around 28 days. The vessel provides accommodation for a total of 31 persons onboard in air-conditioned cabins. There are two large mess room, recreational facilities and a hospital. Up to two client personnel can be accommodated in single cabins with en suite facilities.
