A steel cutting ceremony was held for the CX103 expedition cruise design, the ‘Sylvia Earle’, on 16 March 2020 at the CMHI Haimen yard, China. She has been designed by Ulstein Design & Solutions AS for SunStone Ships.
The Sylvia Earle is the sister vessel of the Greg Mortimer, which was delivered in September 2019. Operator for both vessels is the Australian cruise company Aurora Expeditions.
The Sylvia Earle is vessel number 2 in SunStone's INFINITY series, and the fourth of the Ulstein designed exploration cruise vessels under construction at this yard.
Designed with the X-BOW® hull, the vessel will provide the best possible comfort for passengers in rough head seas, as well as being fuel efficient.
Olympic's latest CSOV, the 'Olympic Notos', has been operational for six months since her delivery, and the feedback is outstanding.
Subsea rock installation is essential for offshore projects, and for over twenty years, Ulstein Design & Solutions BV has been leading the way in vessel design.
In today's evolving maritime industry, ship owners encounter challenges and opportunities. What options do you have when markets are unpredictable? Sometimes it's all about striking that perfect balance.
