Oceanographic research fishery vessel (Hull No. 113) was designed and built by order of the Faroe Marine Research Institute for fish resource and environmental research in the North Atlantic and the Norwegian Sea:

- Pelagic and bottom trawling;

- Underwater acoustic research;

- Plankton sampling;

- Hydrographic survey;

- Environmental monitoring, etc.

The vessel is equipped with the latest technologies for scientific analysis and related processes — navigation, communication, fish-finding, and catch handling. Special attention during design was paid to achieving minimum noise levels to ensure optimal conditions for research operations.

The vessel was delivered in the autumn of 2020.
