Research and survey vessels

Science at sea

Custom-built ships for research and surveying

Fassmer builds highly specialized platforms for oceanography, hydrography, and fisheries research. Together with our customers, we create ships that integrate state-of-the-art scientific equipment, use sustainable propulsion systems, and perform reliably even under the harshest conditions. In this way, we make an important contribution to understanding and protecting the oceans.
