Specifications

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.
