The Polish research vessel Horyzont II was this morning on its way northward in Öresund.
"The vessel was launched on 22th June, 1999 in Gdańsk Repair Shipyard. The Godmother was Ms Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz, the President of the National Bank of Poland.
“Horyzont II”, with the most advanced equipment, can accommodate 57 people aboard (including crew, students and scientists) in comfortable single and double cabins. It has also been designed to carry cargo (two 20 ft containers) and to conduct research concerning the sea, which is realized, among others, during her regular voyages to Spitsbergen."
