The Oceanograf is a Polish research ship built as a catamaran belonging to the University of Gdansk .
history
The ship was built under the construction number B870-II by a consortium of the shipyards Stocznia Remontowa Nauta and Crist in Gdynia for the University of Gdansk. The keel was laid on May 9, 2013. The ship was christened on June 24, 2016 and completed in July 2016.
There were delays during construction. During model tests it turned out that the original length of the ship of 40 meters was not sufficient and the ship had to be lengthened by almost 10 meters for the necessary buoyancy. The completion of the ship, originally planned for spring 2014, was finally delayed to July 2016. The delays and the associated costs led to disputes between the shipyard and the client.
The planned construction costs amounted to 37 million zlotys . Of this, 36 million zloty should come from public funds, 1 million zloty should be contributed by the University of Gdansk. The actual construction costs amounted to 40 million zlotys.
The ship is primarily used in the Baltic Sea .

For the generation of electric drive motors are two of four stroke - six-cylinder - diesel engines of manufacturer Volvo Penta , each with 420 kW power -driven generators. Two generators powered by diesel engines, each with an output of 225 kW, are available for generating electricity in the vehicle electrical system. The drive motors drive two propeller pods , each with two propellers . The cruising speed of the ship is given as 10 knots . The ship is equipped with two bow thrusters designed as water jet propulsion , which are housed in the two hulls . It thus has a system for dynamic positioning . The ship can stay at sea for 21 days, covering 2500 nautical miles .
The ship can be used for various marine research. Four laboratories are set up on board for research purposes. An observation platform is available for observing marine mammals and sea birds . There is a seminar room on board for the training of students.
At the stern of the ship there is a 10 × 9 meter open working deck. The ship is equipped with various lifting tools, including a crane on the aft deck, which can lift 4 t, and a stern boom . Another crane is located in front of the deck structure in the bow area. This crane can lift 50 kg. Several winches are available for towing research equipment or nets . The ship is equipped with various echo sounders and sonars as well as other measuring devices. It can be used for the use of an ROV .
The ship can carry laboratory and transport containers on deck.
There is space for 20 people on board. The captain and chief scientist are accommodated in individual cabins. Nine double cabins are available for the rest of the crew and other scientific staff or accompanying students. The ship's crew usually consists of six people.
