The new South African Antarctic polar research and supply vessel has been named and christened in Rauma, Finland.
Environmental Affairs says the step represents a major investment and signals the country’s commitment to contribute to the understanding of the earth.
The SA Agulhas Two will support research on natural processes, measure the impact of pollution and document biodiversity.
Through the research, scientists on the ship will hopefully help identify threats that arise from the ocean through climate change.
