Risk Score
Multiple adverse factors, or a hard ship-specific signal, lift this hull above the fleet norm.
A coverage-weighted blend of the 2 components we could read for this hull — the weights renormalise over only the components present, so a thin read is never inflated and a hull is never credited a “safe 0” for a signal it has no row for. This headline is flagged low-confidence (a thin or structural-only read) and should not be treated as a verdict. Higher means riskier. Derived in-house from government-open port-State-control, flag, sanctions and our own vessel data; weight it by the coverage above.

Overview
About This Vessel
MS H.U. Sverdrup II is a Norwegian research vessel owned by the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment. The ship is named after the Norwegian oceanographer and meteorologist Harald Ulrik Sverdrup (1888–1957). The ship was built in 1990 by Simek AS. It is certified for European trips and is used almost year-round. The ship has space for 15 researchers that can use 151 m2 (1,630 sq ft) of lab space and 200 m2 (2,200 sq ft) of aft deck space. To reduce noise from the main engine, it is mounted elastically and a passive stabilization system dampens the vessel's rolling movements in bad weather conditions.
