Northshore wins tender for operation of FF Beret Paulsdatter

In December 2022, UiT took delivery of the newly built FF Beret Paulsdatter from the construction yard Vaagland Båtbyggeri. The vessel was designed by Skipskompetanse AS in Måløy and has a length of 26.4 meters and a width of 10 metres. The vessel is equipped for sampling benthic fauna and is rigged with a trawl to be able to take samples of fish and shellfish. On board, a laboratory has been set up for use in teaching.

The new coastal vessel will be used, among other things, for teaching and research in geosciences, biology, tool technology and coastal navigation. In addition, it will serve UiT’s needs in station monitoring and maintenance when collecting marine environmental data and teaching material. The vessel is also adapted to testing new equipment technology for obtaining research data ahead of advanced and expensive equipment being sent to more distant sea areas with larger ocean-going and ice-going vessels.
