The steel-cutting ceremony at Ulsteinvik was supervised by Janusz Stechly of DNV-GL and yard representatives Ole Osnes Gjerde and Marek Lewczuk.
The ship is designed by Ulstein Design & Solutions using the patented X-BOW to provide fuel efficiency while significantly improving passenger comfort in rough seas.
It has a very high ice class for access deep into polar regions, while the expanded fuel and water tanks provide for extended operations in remote areas.
Zero-speed stabilizers will ensure stability even when the ship is stopped for wildlife observation.
