The Middle East's most advanced marine research vessel that will help in efforts to safeguard marine life in the emirate.

The vessel Jaywun ― a term that symbolises one of the finest and most valuable types of pearl ― will enable the Environment Agency Abu Dhabi (EAD) to monitor and assess the marine environment and biodiversity.

The 50m vessel will operate in the territorial waters of the UAE in the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman and allow the EAD to complete its studies of the marine environment and fisheries in waters more than 10m deep.

The vessel, which can accommodate approximately 30 people, is equipped with the latest research equipment, including six laboratories for studying samples on the ship and a remotely-operated submarine vehicle.

EAD will also use the vessel to monitor and preserve fish stocks and marine biodiversity and help to ignite a passion for oceanography and fisheries studies in the Arabian Gulf among young Emirati researchers.

The vessel will support several environmental initiatives, such as the Blue Carbon Assessment Project for Oceanic Fisheries ― the first oceanic, blue carbon fisheries assessment survey in the region. The survey project was created to support the UAE’s strategic initiative to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 and will be conducted in the country's waters.

Freire Shipbuilding Company in Vigo, Spain, developed the vessel under the supervision of Abu Dhabi Ship Building Company, with the support of the EAD team.
