About AURORA
RV Aurora is a Danish research vessel, owned and operated by Aarhus University. The ship is named after Aurora, Roman goddess of the dawn. It is rigged as a multi-purpose vessel, with a large working deck and gantry for deployment and recovery of trawl and heavy equipment over the stern. Aurora is classified to sail in the Baltic and the North Sea, east of 3° east and south of 62° north, with an endurance of up to ten days at sea. Aurora's hull was welded in Stettin, Poland, and towed to Hvide Sande Skibs- og Bådebyggeri in Hvide Sande in August 2013, where the ship was completed as yard no 130. The ship was delivered to Aarhus University on 25 March 2014 and christened on the 25 April by the Danish Minister for the Environment Kirsten Brosbøl.
