Specifications

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. In addition to the container laboratories, three permanent laboratories are also available for general use.
