Investigated areas were (in order of visiting sites on the cruise): the western Barents Sea slope to northwest of Bjørnøya, and the western Barents and north Norway.

 A total of 3 gravity cores, 1 box-core, 5 multi-cores (with a total of 15 sub-cores retrieved), 13 plankton net casts and 13 CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) casts were performed at the western Barents Sea slope, and the Barents Sea.
 >17 chirp profiles and multibeam echo sounder lines were acquired during transits and during surveys of potential core sites.
