Willkommen bei der RF Forschungsschiffahrt
Since the formation of RF Forschungsschiffahrt more than 30 years ago, we have provided our customers with research vessels that feature a state-of-the-art technology. We possess highly experienced crew on board of our ships as well as a skilled staff ashore; both of which have many years of experience in the special field of research vessel navigation. In short: your project will be well looked after.

News from the SONNE

Sonne has left Hong Kong for a charter cruise for KORDI (Korea Ocean Research and Development Institute). The area of research is the Lau-Basin near Tonga. Also on board is the canadian ROPOS team with their ROV.


Our fleet

Global warming exists – true or false? You may find out with the help of geoscience. However, in order to do so you must seek the source – at the bottom of the ocean; or at least as deep as you would like to go. Our vessels provide researchers with the necessary platform – ranging from meteorology, hydrography, chemical oceanography and oceanography to geology and seismics – to name just a few of them. We can provide you with the laboratories, a range of effective equipment and the personnel to run these professionally.
