The disposed space on board the vessel is optimally divided up into working and living areas. There are two wet laboratories, which may be used for microbiological and chemical studies as there is an emergency shower installed. Therefore one will be in the position to carry out common sample preparations like e. g. wet sieving without a big effort, which makes the MV Victor Hensen very well equipped for the purpose of offshore environmental studies and monitoring. Additionally she was put to use for near shore diving expeditions and is also very well applicable for ROV-investigations in shallow depths.
Both, laboratories and accommodation are comfortably furnished and fully air-conditioned, according to internationally recommended standards.
