Polar Research Vessel
Ice going Marine Research Vessel, suitable for unassisted operations worldwide, including the Arctic and Antarctic areas.
The vessel can accomplish multiple missions, including oceanography, hydrography, marine biology, geology, ROV / AUV / seismic / helicopter / cargo handling / launch & recovery operations, students training.
L’unità è in grado di ospitare a bordo 55 persone in 38 cabine, tra ricercatori, studenti ed equipaggio ed è allestita seguendo gli elevati standard di comfort delle navi passeggeri. A prua presenta un hangar che può ospitare due elicotteri ed è dotata di una strumentazione complessa in grado di indagare la morfologia e la geologia dei fondali marini.
