Dr Fridtjof Nansen is a super-silent scientific research platform whose propulsion configuration, laboratory and working deck layout are purposely designed and built to comply with ICES CRR 209 -the most restrictive standard for vessel underwater noise control. Thanks to its wide range of cranes, winches and miscellaneous deck equipment, Fridtjof Nansen can conduct complex, multidisciplinary, multi-investigator research both through direct observation as well as through the deployment of autonomous vehicles and installations.
