The MS H.U. Sverdrup II is a Norwegian research vessel owned by the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment. The ship is named after the Norwegian oceanographer and meteorologist Harald Ulrik Sverdrup (1888–1957).[1]
The ship was built in 1990 by Simek AS. It is certified for European trips and is used almost year-round.
The ship has space for 15 researchers that can use 151 m² of lab space and 200 m² of aft deck space. To reduce noise from the main engine, it is mounted elastically and a passive stabilization system dampens the vessel's rolling movements in bad weather conditions.
