Area of operation
Dana V is built for worldwide operation. The main area of operation will be European Shelf Seas, the North Atlantic and Arctic. Depending on the amount of ice, Dana V will be able to sail up to 80 degrees north.

CTD hangar

  • CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, Depth) winch: SWL 2t – 3500m 8mm coax cable
  • Rail crane: SWL 2t – 1x1000 fiber, 1x 3000m 10mm wire or fiber rope

    • SWL 5t
    • Minimum 160 degrees rotation
    • 5,5m reach aft.
  • Deck crane:
    • SWL 3,75 at maximum reach
    • Reach 15 m

Winches

  • Trawl winch SWL 30t – 3000m, diameter 20mm
  • Net drums SWL 30t – 10m3
  • Bag timber winch SWL 5t
  • Net probe winch SWL2t – 3000m, diameter 13.6mm
  • Aux winch SWL 5t – 3000m, diameter 14mm coax
