Final Remarks
82
Alternatives of Operation
Governmental Research Vessels commercial companies (most German RVs)
Governmental Research Vessels state agencies (BSH vessels)
Defence Research Vessels - commercial companies (ALLIANCE)
Defence Research Vessels civil defence agencies (Planet a.o.)
Commercial companies operate the vessel only
or
support science party with shipborne scientific
equipment
It seems to be most favourable to have a commercial company operate a
RV including the scientific support.
