About B.I.C. Humboldt

The ship has a capacity of 100 people, including crew and scientific staff. The vessel has visited Antarctica on several occasions to assist the Peruvian Antarctic Machu Picchu Base. In 1989 the BIC Humboldt was the subject of a strengthening of the hull and other modifications and improvements after she ran aground off King Georges Island in the Antarctic. This vessel was designed and built under the criteria of the Instituto del Mar del Peru (IMARPE) by SIMA Peru Shipyards for scientific research. The BIC Humboldt has the most modern equipment and instruments for scientific technology.
