Exp 302 – Mobilisation

Mission-specific platforms are especially chosen to fullfil particular scientific objectives. In many cases this requires modifications to get the most appropriate platform.
The chosen platforms are the Vidar Viking (drillship) mobilised in Aberdeen (UK), Landskrona (Sweden) and Tromso (Norway),  and two icebreakers, Oden and Sovetskiy Soyuz.
