organisation profile

In a move that can be seen as a logical extension of our existing portfolio, the research vessel department at Briese Schiffahrts GmbH & Co. KG took up management of the mid-sized, German research/survey vessels ALKOR, HEINCKE, POSEIDON and MARIA S. MERIAN January 1, 2004. A dedicated and skilled team backs up the vessels, drawing on the company's resources to provide and enhance management services for this fascinating fleet. The fleet was rounded off by the addition of the research vessel FS PROF. ALBRECHT PENCK, October 10, 2004. The company cooperates closely with the following research institutes: Alfred-Wegener-Institut für Polar- und Meeresforschung / Bremerhaven (FS 'Heincke') Institut für Ostseeforschung / Warnemünde (FS 'Prof. Albrecht Penck') IFM-GEOMAR, Leibniz-Insitut für Meereswissenschaften / Kiel (FS 'Alkor', FS 'Poseidon') Institut für Meereskunde - Leitstelle METEOR / Hamburg (FS 'Maria S. Merian') Germany's mid-size survey/research vessels are involved in a wide range of missions. While FS ALKOR, FS HEINCKE and FS PROF. ALBRECHT PENCK are mainly underway in the North Sea and Baltic, FS POSEIDON's missions are focused in Madeira, the Canaries, the Azores, the Mediterranean, the Black Sea, and Iceland. The ice shelf research vessel, FS MARIA S. MERIAN mainly cruises the North Sea and Baltic, as well as the North Atlantic up to the ice shelf regions. All in all, the vessels cover a wide range of research activities: physical oceanography, marine chemistry and marine biology sciences, including fishery biology specific maritime meteorology work chemical oceanography marine planktology microbiology marine zoology and marine geology marine geomorphology marine geophysics
