Northshore continues to operate the research vessels Helmer Hanssen and Beret Paulsdatter

After a tender competition, Northshore has been given renewed confidence by UiT The Arctic University of Norway. Northshore will continue as the operating company for the research vessels MV Helmer Hanssen and MV Beret Paulsdatter.

Helmer Hanssen is an ocean-going research vessel, which mainly operates in the Barents Sea, the Jan Mayen Zone, the Fram Strait and the waters around Spitsbergen. The vessel carries out a wide range of research-related activities.

Beret Paulsdatter mainly operates in coastal areas in northern Norway. The vessel is rigged for a variety of research and educational purposes.

The contract with UiT The Arctic University of Norway is important for Northshore's position as an operator of vessels under demanding climatic conditions.
