Points of interest on the: 1st Platform
- Crew Staterooms
- Engineer's Stores
- The ship's engineers keep some of their spare parts inventory here.
- Engineer's Workshop
- Gym
- The gym contains a treadmill and an exercise bike, plus a smattering of other exercise equipment. (There is a stair stepper and a weight room elsewhere.)
- Main control Room
- The central control room for the ship, run by the ship's engineers.
- Science Staterooms
- Two persons per cabin, with most cabins sharing a head (bathroom) with another cabin. Except for the three forward-most cabins, which suffer from noise from the bow thruster, these are some of the most-often-requested scientific staterooms (especially the 6 aft-most ones).
- Scientific Stores
- Accessed (at the dock) via a hatch in the deck, long-term storage for scientific cargo and empty shipping boxes. (The stair-stepper exercise machine is here, too.)
- Switchboard Room
- The ship's electrical panels are here - it's an electric ship, so there is a lot of power to be handled here.
- Propulsion Motor Room
- The out-of-the-water half of the ship's two big electric Z-drives are located here.
- Upper Engine Room
- Winch Room
- The massive winches and drums for the heaviest scientific cables are located here, with the cables fed up through the deck to the A-frame and other locations on the main deck.
