Custom Expedition Yacht
Conversion
Owner spent millions on the current re-fit before leaving project 80% finished, thus the opportunity. Built 1970 by Mjellem & Karlsen Norway for Norwegian Government as an ice-class Fisheries patrol vessel. The transformation to a Global Expedition Vessel focused on underwater exploration is ready to be completed. Everything apart from Rolls-Royce/Bergen main engine has been replaced including all wiring, electric systems, pumps, piping and hydraulics. Finishing can be accomplished in 6-9 months.

The Conversion
Previous owner bought this vessel for a reported 7 million Euro and has put several million Euro into upgrading the ship. The 'heavy-lifting' and Class-approved engineering has been done, saving the new owner many, many months of project work and project management. The vessel can still be customized to meet a new owner's mission and tastes.
This is probably a 6-9 month project to completion.

Interior
Accommodation for up to 8 guests in 4 cabins, and up to 38 crew in 23 crew cabins. It is this broker's opinion that fewer crew cabins are needed, even with specialist dive-masters and sub operators. Crew space can be re- configured.
The guest cabins are currently configured as suites with their own living rooms. Experience suggests that guests usually prefer to be in the ship's salon rather than in their cabins. These suites could be reconfigured into more luxury guest cabins.
Much of the furniture and accommodation fabrication is in storage in the shipyard warehouse. 8 x Single and 15 x Double cabins
