The 17,000gt, 200-passenger ship is designed for worldwide service, covering both polar and tropical regions. One feature is the capacity for simultaneous Zodiac expedition trips for all passengers.
Environmental focus
Environmental friendliness is the key criterion for a project designed jointly by the owner EWE Cruise (which shares some principals with Ruihang Cruise), naval architect Deltamarin and architectural designer Tillberg of Sweden, in close collaboration with the Chinese Polar Guide Association.
'The EWE project represents a new approach to expedition cruising for the Asian market. The ship will be a frontrunner both in design and in operations. Tillberg Design of Sweden is proud and excited to be part of the team,' said Iina Forsblom, TDoS partner and cruise design director.
Presented at Marintec Shanghai
The project was published at Marintec Shanghai last week, alongside the presentation of AIP certificates to the involved parties.
The approval from DNV certifies that the ship design is compliant with prevailing rules and regulations.
