Between May 2012 and MArch 2024, ROV PHOCA has been deployed during 20 scientific expeditions from 6 different research vessels and during several tests in the Baltic Sea. 

During the expeditions, ROV PHOCA completed 200 dives. 

Of the approximately 760 hours in the water, ROV PHOCA spent about 61 hours at the seafloor. 

During expedition SO251-2 on RV SONNE, ROV PHOCA reached its so far greatest diving depth of almost 2000 m in the Nankai Trough off Japan.

Until today (February 2025), 29 peer-reviewed articles as well as several theses to which ROV PHOCA contributed were published
