Vessel Description

HAVTIND is a Norwegian-flagged research and survey vessel operated by the Institute of Marine Research (IMR) based in Bergen, Norway. Originally designed and deployed as an offshore vessel, HAVTIND has been utilized extensively in support of Norway's national marine research programs, conducting fisheries surveys, oceanographic studies, and environmental monitoring across the Norwegian Sea, Barents Sea, and adjacent Arctic waters.

The vessel is equipped with dynamic positioning (DP) capability, enabling precise station-keeping during scientific operations without anchoring — a critical feature for research work in open and deep-water environments. Her diesel-electric propulsion system supports reduced underwater radiated noise levels, an important requirement for fisheries acoustic survey work.

Operating under the authority of the Institute of Marine Research, HAVTIND plays an important role in Norway's management of marine resources, contributing data to stock assessments and ecosystem monitoring programs that inform fisheries policy at both national and international levels.
