RV Wim Wolff is the successor of vessel Navicula. The vessel is a 37m long and operates in the Wadden Sea, Delta, and near-coastal North Sea. The design prioritized the strong ambition to make the vessel greener and, in view of the intended shallow waters in which the vessel will travel, to stay within the limits of the maximum dimensions and draught.
