r/v Oceanograf

research vessel of the University of Gdańsk

The unit is equipped with specialised equipment for interdisciplinary research on the environment and nature of the seas and oceans. In addition to the laboratories, there are also observatories and a seminar room inside the ship.

Due to the extensive scope of research carried out using the ship, including: biological, seabed, bathymetric, chemical, geological,
it is a multi-tasking unit.

The ship uses a double-hull structure– catamaran type, which minimises the angle of heel, which is especially important when conducting research at sea.
