R/V Oceanograf is a specialised scientific and research vessel that performs a wide range of measurements related to the marine environment. It is the most modern research unit in the Baltic Sea, carrying out tasks for science and the maritime economy. The ship is certified for international shipping.

 

The unit is equipped with specialised equipment for interdisciplinary research on the environment and nature of the seas and oceans. In addition to the laboratories, there are also observatories and a seminar room inside the ship.
Due to the extensive scope of research carried out using the ship, including: seabed research, bathymetric research, chemical research, geological research, it is a multi-tasking unit.
The ship uses a double-hull structure – catamaran type, which minimizes the angle of heel, which is especially important when conducting research at sea.
