The flex lab on board Svea is a versatile workspace with direct access to the the working deck.

The flex lab is equipped with large-capacity drains and deep sinks for working with sediments – for example, sieving benthic fauna or processing geological samples. It also serves as a suitable service space for larger instruments such as remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) or towed equipment.

Function and use:

  • Workspace for handling and assembling instrument platforms, such as ROTVs, before and after deployment
  • Frequently used for processing sediment samples
  • Features durable furnishings and resilient surfaces – designed for wet, dirty, and occasionally heavy-duty tasks
  • Access to electricity, freshwater, compressed air, and data connections
