Lithuanian Marine Research Centre Acquires New Vessel

Open Access Centre for Marine Research, a subdivision of Lithuanian Klaipėda University, has introduced its new marine research vessel capable of carrying out multipurpose marine investigations, including those for offshore renewable energy.

In March 2015, the new R/V MINTIS was built in Klaipeda and is now operated by the Centre’s Fleet and Field Research Laboratory.

The laboratory provides services in geological, geophysical and hydrological investigations, as well as sea bottom morphology and marine biodiversity surveys.
