It has been nearly a year since Kewatec Shipyards of Finland delivered the Serecraft S14 to Svalbard. The 14-meter work and research boat is powered by YANMAR and used for research at the world's northernmost university, the University Centre in Svalbard.
YANMAR collaborated with Martec AS, a trusted dealer from Norway and a part of the Kewatec Group, to supply the engines. Martec AS played an integral role in the entire project.
The boat is named after the scientist Hanna Resvoll, who was the first female Arctic scientist in Svalbard, back in 1907. Hanna Resvoll was also a pioneer in environmental protection and was Norway's first environmentalist.
Out on the sea all day, the boat’s unique design makes it easier for students to stay dry and warm as they carry out their research. Data collection can be done more safely and securely with the Hanna Resvoll able to accommodate 12 passengers and a crew of three.

The boat is used to map the seabed, collect water samples, inspect research buoys and carry out transport duties. Able to sail 250 nautical miles without refueling, it has a larger operating area than the Polar Circle boats that also ply the waters of the arctic.
Martec AS, Teil der Kewatec-Gruppe, has been a Yanmar commercial marine dealer since 2016. They perform maintenance and service on Norwegian vessels and deliver genuine spare parts. Read the continue of the story by visiting the source bellow.
