A true floating laboratory, the Coriolis II has spaces dedicated exclusively to research work. Its laboratories make it possible to train multidisciplinary research teams that can accommodate 14 scientists, in addition to the ship's regular crew. It meets the highest standards of maritime certification and can sail anywhere in the world.
Oceanography and marine sciences require the use of research vessels which are essential for taking samples in order to understand the oceanographic phenomena that govern coastal and offshore ecosystems. The ship becomes a vital tool for all oceanographic disciplines.
The University of Quebec at Rimouski, in partnership with the Universities of Laval, McGill, and of Quebec in Montreal, acquired and transformed in 2011 the CCGS John Jacobson thanks to an FCI / MEQ grant of more than $ 10 million. The vessel was put into operation in the fall of 2002 and thus gave researchers back access to the coastal waters of eastern Canada.
