RV Bernicia

RV Bernicia

The RV "Bernicia" is a research vessel owned and operated by Newcastle University's Department of Marine Science and Technology. It is a small trawler-type vessel just over 16 metres in length, and is used for research and teaching in the North Sea and in river estuaries, largely in the area of marine biology. It has a hydraulically operated windlass and winches, and a crane on the aft deck.

The RV "Bernicia" is named after the ancient Anglo Saxon Kingdom of the same name, and was designed by Naval Architects from Newcastle University. It is currently berthed at and operated from Blyth.
