Production start for fisheries research vessel

STX Finland Oy's Rauma Shipyard started the production of an innovative fisheries reseach vessel ordered by the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources of the Republic of Namibia.

NB 1378 is scheduled to be delivered during the summer of 2012.  

The ship is a versatile and modern research vessel designed for Namibian fisheries research, and it meets the latest standardised performance criteria. Ensuring that the vessel meets these criteria requires careful design of the research systems, propulsion and power generation system. The vessel will be approx. 62m long and provide accommodation for 44 crew members and research personnel.

The vessel represents a high technical level, and special attention has been given to the vessel's serviceability and low maintenance costs. In addition to monitoring fish stock, the vessel will also be used for collecting biological samples for onboard research and analysis. The vessel also features facilities for meteorological research and it can provide assistance for control of fishing.
