The ship is equipped with measuring instruments and has scientific laboratories as well as a moon pool for sampling, and all equipment is designed to meet the requirements of academic research.

Forskarna har tillgång till havet via en öppen vattenpassage, en så kallad månbassäng. Passagen uppstår på samma sätt som om du trycker ner ett glas i en vattenbalja med botten uppåt.

2022 November 12, Mikkel Meister, “Havsforskare bygger havets ISS [Marine scientists build the ocean's ISS]”, in Illustrerad Vetenskap:

The researchers have access to the sea via an open water passage, a so-called moon pool. The passage occurs in the same way as if you push a glass into a tub of water with the bottom up.

Vid månbassängen... Eller "brunnsdäcket"? Mitt på skeppet.

2022, 155:10 from the start, in Karl Hårding, transl., Avatar: The Way of Water (overall work in English), spoken by Miles "Spider" Socorro (Jack Champion):

They are at the moonpool... at the well deck? At midships.
