List of Danish research ships information


A number of ships have been used for Danish marine research and Danish-led expeditions. Some were dedicated research ships and functional in many years, other were bought or chartered for a limited time for one or more dedicated expeditions. These expeditions are typically named after the ship.

Most information has been compiled from Sandbeck (2007),[1] Wolff (1967)[2] and Christiansen (2010).[3] Additional references are listed in the table.

The table does not include research ships that are or were operated independently by Greenland and the Faroe Islands (such as R/V Sanna, M/V Tarajoq and R/V Jákup Sverri), which are self-governing parts of the Kingdom of Denmark.
