In 2016, the LWRC launched a second vessel, Motor Vessel FYLGJA, a 12.8 m touring boat, converted to the requirements of a research vessel including full galley, berths, sanitation system for multi-day tripping, safety, electrical, navigation systems and Transport Canada certifications. With a 1-metre draft, M/V FYLGJA complements the M/V NAMAO‘s offshore capabilities by further facilitating special projects in the nearshore of the south basin and narrows of Lake Winnipeg.

The M/V FYLGJA was originally built in Riverton by Alec Zagozewski in 1973/74. In 2013, the FYLGJA was offered to the LWRC as a charitable donation from Barbara and Jens Nielsen.
