Research: the ship will be equipped for research and investigation of the entire
marine ecosystem most of the technology on board has been
developed by well leading knowledge clusters in Norway an independent
scientific committee will evaluate and recommend research projects to pursue
and ensure the highest level of scientific standards and research
quality. An international advisory board will provide guidance and advice on how
to develop the initiative further. A capacity of 60 scientists 30 crew
expedition the ship has the range and equipment to make autonomous expeditions
all around the globe to explore document and collect. REV applies
The Polar Code adopted by the International Maritime Organization for
ships operating in Arctic and Antarctic conditions and can operate autonomously
for 114 days. Capacity of 32 scientists 28 passengers 30 crew.
The Vessel. The vessel will be built to the highest standards making it suitable for charter
to private individuals, companies and institutions seeking to improve their
awareness of the ocean. A capacity of 28 guests and 54 crew chartered activity
will not interfere with research plans and income from any charted activity
will help fund the ship's research operations
Okay so what are we looking at here? This is a vessel unlike any vessel that's come
before it. This is a privately owned vessel that going to be built to
superior standards and yet it's going to be used for research and exploration
so the owner has dedicated a large proportion of his money towards this
vessel and that this is something that I get a lot of comments about on my
channel a lot of people when they look at the videos that I produce there we
say 'oh just think of how many how many people they could help if they gave that
money to charity' etc well here's a gentleman who is doing something better
than that his vessel will be looking at ways to
recover the damage that the human race has done to the oceans. The future owner
who is using a large amount of his fortune to build this vessel said 'I am a
fisherman and curious by nature resources in the oceans and on the
seabed have provided a significant value for society and also for my family and
myself for this I am very grateful.' it will however as I said be built to
superyacht standards it will be a privately owned vessel that can be
used for recreational purposes I think it's fair to say that this will be a
super yacht it certainly is super. Let's look at the dimensions so the dimensions
of this 182.9 meters that is longer than Azzam. Azzam is the longest super
yacht in the world Dilbar is the most volumous super yacht in the world and
this will be longer and more voluminous that both of those vessels so that
will make this the largest super yacht in the world. Let's have a look at some
other features so basically the capacity will be in a research setup will be 30
crew and 60 scientists in expedition set up 30 crew 24 scientists and 36
passengers and the vessel in general will have a crew of 54 and
thirty-six guests so that didn't superyacht stand standard more crew than
guests is the norm so some of the features of this vessel autonomy this
actually has a range of 21120 nautical
miles at eleven knots which means it can actually circumnavigate the globe
without refueling so I don't know of any other vessel that does that certainly
not a super yacht. It can store enough food enough stores for 90 persons for 114
days for longer trips extra stores can be provided in reefer containers on deck
at 20 additional days per container fully loaded
ok let's look at some of the features the main hangar has a moonpool a 7
meter by 5 meter opening through the hull will allow direct access to the
water below. Overside launching, pretty standard but is a big area, overhead
cranes can lift the launch equipment up to 20 tons over the side it also has
Laboratories on board several laboratories will be equipped for
different types of research with all the equipment needed for a broad range of
scientific investigations. Environmental research lab, Aerosol lab, Refrigerated
lab, Wet labs, Dry labs. Teaching lab. It also has an aft crane also has a
hospital with medic cabin
Ok that's all for now I'm hoping this is the first
video of many on this exciting new build hopefully I'll be able to follow it with
some actual footage although it's still in its first year of build the yachts
are said to be ready in 2021. So anyway stay tuned for more to come
