Research vessel Bios Dva was constructed according to the specific needs of the research carried out by the Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries.

About vessel

Bios Dva was designed to support a wide range of oceanographic and fisheries research, which is the core activity of the Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries. It is equipped with four hydraulic winches, a side shifter and a collapsible hydraulic crane, three laboratories (wet, dry and microbiological laboratory) and a cabin for electronics. There are 6 crew members on board, and it is possible to accommodate up to 18 researchers at the same time. The ship’s autonomy during cruising is 2000 Nm at a cruising speed of 11.8 knots.

The boat is named BIOS DVA, after the Greek word Bios/βίος, which means life, and the word DVA (eng. TWO) , to distinguish it from its predecessor the R/V BIOS, which had served the Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries for over half a century, from 1953 to 2009, for various research purposes in the Adriatic Sea.
