Re: QUEST Fishery research vessel
The 8.27 meter long vessel, weighing 5.8 tonnes, was built in 1984 and has been owned and operated by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) as a research fishing vessel at KEP since 2001. She was used to set nets in Cumberland Bay and to tow plankton trawls and temperature-depth recorders, and has been instrumental in building up a long data set for the area, building on former work of the pioneering Discovery Expeditions and the pre-conflict BAS station.
On October 29th “Quest” was lifted aboard the Fishery Patrol Vessel “Pharos SG” to be transported to Stanley, Falkland Islands, where she will be sold by sealed bid.
