Welcome on board MV Ulla Rinman!
Your dedicated research platform for Arctic science and exploration.
Ulla Rinman is available for full charter to support sea-based fieldwork in Svalbard, Greenland & Iceland
in the following departments:
Climate & Environmental Research
Sea ice and glacier monitoring tracking formation, melt rates, and Arctic glacier movement to analyze climate change impacts in Svalbard, Greenland, and Iceland.
Ocean current and climate impact studies measuring Arctic water circulation, temperature shifts, and regional environmental trends with dynamic vessel support.
Permafrost and environmental change research analyzing thawing permafrost and its consequences for global climate feedbacks with access to remote Arctic sites.
Marine Biology & Oceanography
Arctic marine ecosystem studies researching biodiversity, plankton, and microbial life to understand extreme environment food webs and water quality.
Sediment and coastal sampling collecting biological and sediment samples in shallow fjords and nearshore waters for comprehensive marine environmental analysis.
Scuba-enabled underwater archaeology and ecosystem surveys providing full diving support including compressors and lead weights for submerged site research.
Glaciology & Underwater Science
Ice core drilling and glacier ovement monitoring unlocking historic climate data and observing ice sheet dynamics in hard-to-reach Arctic locations.
Geological and sedimentary surveys mapping rock formations, permafrost layers, and coastal ice-age archaeological sites.
Research diving support and submerged site exploration delivering flexible equipment and small-team logistics tailored for underwater scientific study
Wildlife Observation & Ecology
Polar bear, walrus, and Arctic bird tracking using acoustic and visual methods to study populations, migration routes, and behavioral ecology.
Marine mammal research conducting monitoring and behavioral assessments in fragile Arctic habitats.
Climate change impact assessments for Arctic species evaluating adaptation to shifting environmental conditions.
Educational Expeditions & Training
University-led Arctic field courses offering hands-on scientific research training in collaborative and real-world Arctic environments.
Practical training for early-career researchers supporting data collection, methodology development, and adaptable field techniques.
Custom research expeditions for academic groups tailored for specialized Arctic science missions with full vessel and logistical support.
