RV Pelagia
The RV Pelagia is a 66m versatile vessel for multidisciplinary research. Besides the crew and the technicians, the Pelagia offers space for up to 12 scientists. To accommodate the large variety of research activities that take place at sea, the ship uses containerized laboratories of a standard 20-foot size. A total of nine containers can be placed on board; four on the aft deck and five in the container hold. This is a very flexible and efficient system which allows the use of tailor-made laboratories for highly specialized types of research.
RV Navicula
RV Navicula is 26 meters long and is especially designed for research in the Wadden Sea. The ship’s limited draft makes it particularly suitable for work in shallow channels and on the tidal flats. The ship provides a dry and a wet lab and has space on deck for a laboratory container. The A-frame on the aft side and the winches may be used for sampling and measuring. Besides the three crew, the Navicula offers space for up to eight passengers.
