Aranda is a Finnish ice-strengthened research vessel built by Wärtsilä Marine in 1989 and owned by the Finnish Environment Institute. A state-of-the-art research vessel equipped for icy conditions, she operates mainly in the Baltic Sea but has also made voyages to the Arctic Sea as well as the areas around Antarctica.[4]
A major overhaul of the ship began in summer 2017, during which the length of the ship was increased to accommodate additional research and laboratory facilities. The vessel was also equipped with electric transmission.[5][6][7]
