The Ship

                      USHUAIA  -  Supply & Research Vessel

The research vessel "Ushuaia", former "Researcher" and "Malcolm Baldrige", was builded as oceanographic research vessel for the NOAA

(National Oceanographic & Atmospheric Administration), an United States of America government agency. www.noaa.gov

The NOAA operates the vessel for more than 20 years, performing during that period many of the most importants NOAA oceanographic research operations.

  NOAA Ship Commissioning Ceremony

 

After the NOAA period, the vessel was acquired by Ushuaia Adventure Corp., changing her name by "Ushuaia" and reoriented to private oceanographic and antarctic research and logistic operations.

The vessel was upgraded on navigation and communication equipment, and cabins and rooms renewed.
