Vessel Description

The Vicente Pinzon is a Brazilian government-operated oceanographic and environmental research vessel, operated under the authority of IBAMA. Named after the Spanish-Portuguese explorer Vicente Yáñez Pinzón, the vessel is purpose-built for scientific research missions in Brazilian waters.

The vessel supports a range of scientific activities including:

• Fisheries stock assessment and monitoring
• Oceanographic data collection
• Environmental impact studies
• Marine biodiversity surveys
• Ecosystem monitoring within the Brazilian EEZ

Constructed domestically at the INACE shipyard in Fortaleza, Brazil, the Vicente Pinzon reflects Brazil's investment in sovereign oceanographic capability. The vessel is equipped with scientific laboratories and survey equipment appropriate for multi-disciplinary marine research operations. Its diesel-electric propulsion and dynamic positioning capability allow it to maintain station accurately during sensitive survey work.
