The offshore patrol frigate VÆDDEREN will be the floating base for a number of Danish and foreign scientists and researchers when the third Galathea Expedition are planned to take place from August 2006 thru April 2007.

At this moment the VÆDDEREN resides at Karstensens Ship Yard in Skagen, Northern Jutland, to be refitted from being an active offshore patrol frigate to primarily a scientific platform.

Laboratories, store rooms and scientific equipment should be installed, and accomodations for the scientist, media people and students should be organized.
