definition: [Adapted from "Presentation of R/V Aranda", "http://www.fimr.fi/en/aranda/laiva.html"] The modern Aranda was launched in Helsinki in June 1989. It is first research vessel which is owned by the Finnish Institute of Marine Research, and its home port is Helsinki. The length of the ship is 59,2 m, its beam 13,8 m and gross register weight 1734 GT. The ship accomodates a research staff of 25 - 30 persons. Aranda is a modern, ice-reinforced research vessel. She was planned for Baltic Sea research, but in principle, she is able to operate in all seas. Aranda has made scientific expeditions i.a. to Antarctic waters and the Northern Atlantic. The vessel is adapted to year-round multidisciplinary marine research, including biology, physics, chemistry and geology of the sea. The well-equipped laboratories and advanced computer systems facilitate sample treatment and data analysis under way.
