LEGO City set 60266, Ocean Exploration Ship, depicts an ocean research vessel with a marine exploration crew and divers. Released in 2020, it contains 747 pieces and belongs to the City theme, with 8 minifigures.

Ocean Exploration Ship places marine research within the civilian world of LEGO City. The subject is a research vessel supported by explorers and divers, making it suited to scenes about work at sea, preparation for dives and underwater investigation.

This gives the model a broad crew rather than a single vehicle focus.

It is aimed at builders who want a maritime research subject in a City layout. The ship can support play, a harbour display or a collection focused on City transport, services and exploration, while the figure selection helps distinguish deck crew, specialists and divers.
