The RV Meteor (also Meteor III) is a multidisciplinary research vessel operating mainly in high seas. She is owned by the German state represented by its Federal Ministry of Education and Research[3] and registered in Hamburg.[1]
RV Meteor operates mainly in the areas of the Atlantic, the eastern Pacific, and the western Indian Oceans, as well as the Mediterranean and the Baltic Seas.[3] The current Meteor is the third German research vessel in a row sharing the same name, after Meteor (1915) and Meteor (1964).
Until 2012, Meteor was operated by Bremerhaven based company F. Laeisz GmbH. Since January 2013 the ship has a new operator, Briese Schiffahrt in Leer.[4] It can accommodate up to 30 scientists for work in 20 laboratories on the main deck.[4]
