Considering a research vessel? Read first our review about
the DANA.
With a crew of 12-18 members and a capacity for up to 26
scientific personal on board, the DANA is the biggest Danish research vessel,
with worldwide operation capability. The two B&W Alpha Diesel Type 16V23LU,
with a total of 4640 horsepower, this marine almost beast can achieve a maximum
velocity of 15 knots (28 kilometers per hour), which will take your science
rocketing around the world.

The scientific paraphernalia that you’ll encounter on DANA
will fulfill all your scientific dreams, from Artic to Geological research, without
forgetting about Fishery, Climate and Biological research. The deck is ready
for both sampling of sediment by gravity cores and fishing. But nothing is compared
to the little terror founded on deck: the Brutallis, a box corer named after
its capacity for destruction during high waves! Also, the DANA is equipped with
several labs, CTDs, eco-sounders and other high-tech gadgets to support your
research.
Have I mentioned the commodities? The DANA is full equipped,
having meeting rooms with luxury leather sofas, gaming room with its own
Playstation 3, on-board duty free shops, a kitchen with the finets cuisine of
the seven seas and its own gym, where to exercise yourself and play darts and ping pong.
You’ll love to play during storms!
From this blog, I totally recommend to seal on board of DANA. If you are a hardcore marine scientist or a whale watching wannabe, need a extremely efficient crew and to improve your field work, DANA is for you!
