Ship Operators Network (SON)

R/V Skagerak is part of SON (Ship Operators Network). SON was formed in 2021 and is a network for ship operators.

SON has representatives from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), the Geological Survey of Sweden (SGU), Umeå University, Stockholm University, SMHI, the Swedish Polar Research Secretariat and the University of Gothenburg.

SON works to strengthen co-operation and knowledge exchange between Swedish ship operators. The network emphasises collaboration and has contributed to the development of SWERVE (Swedish Research Vessel Infrastructure for Marine Research).
