HNLMS Snellius (A802) is a hydrographic survey vessel of the Royal Netherlands Navy.[2] The Snellius has a sister ship: HNLMS Luymes (A803).

HNLMS Snellius (A802) 


Snellius is named after the mathematician Willebrord Snellius who contributed a lot to hydrography.


The ship was completed in the Netherlands from a Romanian built hull.[1]


The ships have different tasks: surveying the sea, operating as guard ship, representing the Netherlands at home and abroad, assisting maritime scientific surveys by the Ministry of Defence and assisting rescue operations.


The current Snellius is the third hydrographic vessel with this name
