Small vessel, great versatility, the Louis-Edmond-Hamelin is a true mobile research station. This modest monohull boat made of aluminium is in fact modest in appearance only. Equipped with two 175-horsepower (135 HP) engines and capable of holding up to seven crew members, the Louis-Edmond-Hamelin can navigate up to 46 km (25 nautical miles) from shore. The L-E-H can accommodate a wide variety of scientific equipment dedicated to collecting data in coastal environments. The L-E-H also features a high freeboard that allows it to navigate in high waves, aft platform space and a protected cabin area that provides safety and comfort in difficult weather conditions and nighttime sailing.
The Louis-Edmond-Hamelin Research Vessel is a 26 foot aluminum Silver Dolphin which can be towed to any coastal destination. The vessel is authorized to operate up to 46 km from the shore.
