The new Nansen research vessel sets sail
The third ship launched in a unique partnership between Norway and FAO. A state of the art research vessel that will collect and analyze data in the ship's laboratories using sophisticated technologies to help coastal developing countries manage their fisheries and protect marine environments. The only vessel in the world to fly the UN flag, will set sail to address climate change and work towards achieving Sustainable Development Goal 14.

5. SOT Tore Strǿmme, Research Coordinator (English):
It is for me personally surprising to see that then project is after so many years. So even if we are looking at 40 years backwards, I would say quite optimistically that we can also now project our vision 20 years forward.

15. SOT MANUEL BARANGE, FAO Director of Fisheries and Aquaculture Policy and Resources Division (English):
The work of the Nansen is unique and it’s unique because it brings people from Africa , many of whom would never have been at sea, to do research in their waters for their benefit of their resources and their management. That is fantastic. In the next phase of the Nansen we will see the vessel collecting data from African waters, some of the least observed waters of the world, and that allows us to put Africa and southern hemisphere waters in context with the global observations.

Script
A state of the art, multi-purpose research vessel, the Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, is the third ship launched in a unique partnership between Norway and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Over four decades the Nansen research vessels have sailed the equivalent of 60 times around the globe. They have discovered new resources and collected valuable data to help coastal developing countries manage their fisheries and protect their marine environments. Using sophisticated technology, scientists measure the ocean properties, including temperature, salinity and oxygen. Trawl nets capture what is in the sea at different depths to monitor fish stocks. The seabed is mapped using ecosounders and sediment samples are scooped up for analysis in the ship’s laboratories. Scientists from survey countries join the work on board, counting and identifying their finds. All data and information is entered into a database providing a snapshot of the state of the ocean. With regular monitoring, changes in sea properties, fish numbers and entire marine ecosystems become apparent. Coastal communities are often most affected by these changes, as loss of resources they rely on can devastate local economies. Owned and shared by survey countries, the database provides essential information for the development of fisheries policies leading to better and more sustainable use of ocean resources. The new vessel is ready to take on the challenge, to build on the previous four decades, improving, updating and sharing knowledge - to protect the world’s oceans and their resources. . The only vessel in the world to fly the UN flag, will set sail to address climate change and work towards achieving Sustainable Development Goal 14 (Life below water).
