These daily costs have been established in line with the criteria for estimating the operating costs of the vessels in the MINECO oceanographic fleet, according to the criteria that, at national level, were discussed in the meetings of the "Daily Costs" Working Group of the FLOTPOL. Likewise, these criteria coincide, at international level, with those applied in different European countries after their analysis according to the "European Research Vessels Operators Group" (ERVO).

These daily costs exclusively cover the operating costs of the vessel, so in anycase is there a profit in its operation.
