Descripción
The research vessel (R/V) Dr Fridtjof Nansen is a state of the art research vessel that serves the countries partners to the EAF-Nansen Programme “Supporting the Application of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries management considering climate and pollution impacts” to generate knowledge on resources and ecosystems by use of the art gears and technologies, providing key information of complex and changing marine ecosystems to the benefit of partner countries.
The current R/V Dr Fridtjof Nansen is the third research vessel to bear the name. The first vessel was launched in 1974 and served for 19 years. The second vessel was built in 1993 and sailed over 605 000 nautical miles until its retirement in 2016. The current vessel is owned by the Norwegian Agency for development cooperation (Norad), operated by the Norwegian Institute of Marine Research (IMR) in close consultation with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), who is responsible for the implementation of the EAF-Nansen Programme and enabling the vessel to fly the UN flag as a house flag. The brochure provides a snapshot of the services that the vessel can provide.
