Vega Uno
Our research vessel VEGA UNO, launched in 1991 and completely renovated in 2024, is used for Special Scientific or Research Services in national navigation.
The vessel has a laboratory for instrumentation and analysis of water and sediments and is used for characterization and sampling campaigns of the water column with CTD and Rosette probes, multibeam bathymetric surveys, tide gauge surveys, geophysical investigations with sparker or sub bottom systems profiler, magnetometric investigations and is designed to perform visual inspections with R.O.V. systems.
