GeoEcoMar is transforming and equipping a converted Atlantic II-type trawler ("Somes" - 3,000 t displacement, 82 m length) into multidisciplinary marine research vessel which will be operational in 1999. The Institute has also a research vessel (R/V "Istros", 32 m length) and a floating laboratory ("Halmyris", for 22 researchers) for research campaigns within the River Danube and its Delta.
