The smallest ship ever to join the impressive research ship fleet of Germany's Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) has gone into service after completion at Fassmer Shipyard. MYA 11, based in Sylt in north Germany, is for North Sea coastal and mudflats service between Sylt and Heligoland. At just 21.7m in length and 6m wide, it is dwarfed by other ships in the small AWI research fleet, like the 118m icebreaking research ship Polarstern and the 55m medium range research ship Heincke.
