The Friedrich Heincke was a German research ship .

history

The ship was built under construction number 328 at the August Pahl shipyard in Hamburg-Finkenwerder for the Helgoland Biological Institute and put into service in 1968. The ship was owned by the Federal Republic of Germany, represented by the Federal Ministry for Research and Technology .

In 1990 the ship was decommissioned and sold to the Norwegian shipping company Simon Møkster in July of that year. It was replaced by the Heincke, which entered service in 1990 . The ship was named after Friedrich Heincke (1852–1929), the founding director of what was then the "Royal Biological Institute Helgoland". Heincke was director of the Biological Institute Helgoland from 1891 to 1921.

In June 1993 the ship was sold to the University of Gothenburg . The Sven Lovén Center for Marine Infrastructure at the University of Gothenburg is using the ship, renamed Skagerak , as a research ship.

The ship is primarily used in the Baltic Sea , Kattegat , Skagerrak and the North Sea . It can stay at sea for up to two weeks. The usual duration of a research trip is two to five days. The ship is at sea around 150 to 180 days a year. In 2018 it is to be replaced by a new building of the same name .

Technical data and equipment

The ship is powered by a twelve - cylinder four - stroke diesel engine from the manufacturer MWM (type: TB12RS18 / 22) with an output of 677  kW . The engine acts on a propeller .

In the stern area there is a crane and a swiveling stern boom . There are also several winches installed here. Another lifting tool for launching and retrieving research equipment is located on the starboard side of the ship.

The ship is equipped with nine cabins, two single and seven double cabins. The ship's crew is four to five people. Five double cabins are available for scientific staff. Up to 21 people can be embarked on day trips. For longer research trips there is space for ten scientists.
