Objective The ANDAMAN cruise aimed to better understand the mechanisms of the opening of the Andaman margin basin. It is located on the eastern flank of the Indian-Eurasian collision along the so-called East-Indian "rail". During the Tertiary, the Andaman-Nicobar complex recorded the progressive migration towards northern India. Three geological objects related to the rapid convergence of the Indian plate towards Eurasia were studied through the ANDAMAN cruise: the active axis of the Andaman Sea and the relationship with the strike-slip fault of Sagaing in Myanmar, the West Burmese scarp associated with the highly oblique subduction of the Indian plate and the Tertiary deformations of the 90°E Ridge
