F.Laeisz

The Hamburg-based shipping company F. Laeisz brings decades of experience in operating research vessels for polar and ocean science. As the operator of both the iconic icebreaker Polarstern and the sailing vessel Eugen Seibold, a platform for  marine chemistry research, Laeisz is at the forefront of scientific exploration at sea. Their deep experience in managing complex scientific missions at sea is highly valuable for the development of Malizia Explorer, helping ensure that our vessel meets the highest standards of safety, efficiency, and research capability.

“With Malizia Explorer, we see a new generation of research vessel emerging: one that’s agile, low-impact, and built for collaboration. We’re happy to support this initiative and share our operational experience to help make it a success.”
