The new propulsion system, heat pump water, hy-draulically controlled pitch propeller - so many firsts in one vessel. The »Uthorn« is the new research vessel that the German Alfred Wegener Institute, Helm-holtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) will use for coastal research. It replaces the 1982-built, old »Uthorn«. After a two-year construction phase, German Federal Minister of Education and Research Bettina Stark-Watzinger christened the cutter on 1 November before handing it over to the AWI. |
